Lebanon reports 41 killed in Israeli raids and commando operation
Israeli air and ground attacks in Lebanon killed at least 41 people and wounded 40, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health. The ministry said Israeli commandos were detected by Hezbollah fighters and local residents, leading to exchanges of gunfire before Israeli warplanes and helicopters carried out about 40 air raids. Hezbollah said it fired on an Israeli infantry force near a village cemetery and again during the withdrawal. Israel’s military confirmed its special forces operated in Lebanon overnight, saying the mission sought information on the remains of missing Israeli navigator Ron Arad, but found nothing and reported no Israeli injuries.
