Rescue Teams Dig Through Rubble After Israeli Strike in South Lebanon
Rescuers search for survivors under debris after an Israeli airstrike destroyed a building in Lebanon's Kfar Rumman village.
Rescue workers in southern Lebanon were combing through the debris of a collapsed building on Monday, following an Israeli airstrike that leveled the structure in the village of Kfar Rumman.
Emergency teams were seen searching under the rubble for potential victims, as the operation continued through the day. The strike marks another escalation in the border region, which has witnessed repeated exchanges of fire in recent months.
The building, reduced to a pile of concrete and twisted metal, was located in the heart of the village. Local civil defense units and volunteers worked alongside each other, using heavy equipment and bare hands to clear the debris.
No official casualty figures have been released yet, and the full extent of the damage remains unclear. The village, situated in the southern district, has been on edge as cross-border tensions persist.
The airstrike underscores the fragile security situation along the Lebanon-Israel frontier, where international efforts to broker a lasting ceasefire have so far yielded little progress.
