Reportedly, all the victims were agricultural labourers who were working in the orchard at the time of the strike. While one of them was an Israeli citizen, the others were foreign nationals.

Meanwhile, Israel on Thursday targeted weapons storage facilities and command centres used by Hezbollah’s Radwan Forces and its munitions unit in Syria. IDF wrote on X, “A short while ago, following IDF intelligence, the IAF (Israeli Air Force) struck weapons storage facilities and command centers used by Hezbollah’s Radwan Forces and its Munitions Unit in the area of Al-Qusayr, Syria.”

IDF further added, “Hezbollah’s Munitions Unit is responsible for storing weapons inside Lebanon and has recently expanded its activities into the town of Al-Qusayr, near the Syrian-Lebanese border. With this, Hezbollah is establishing logistical infrastructure to facilitate the transfer of weapons from Syria into Lebanon via border crossings.”

The IDF further said that the strike on the weapons storage facilities is part of a larger effort targeting the infrastructure of Unit 4400, the Hezbollah unit responsible for smuggling weapons from Iran, through Syria, and into Lebanon.
