Mourners Bury 14 Killed in Israeli Strike on Southern Lebanon Town

Mourners gathered in the southern Lebanese town of Deir Qanoun En-Nahr on Thursday to bury victims of an Israeli airstrike that killed 14 people earlier in the week. The toll included four children and three women, according to Lebanon's health ministry.

Dozens of residents carried pictures of three children and their parents who died in the bombing. Ali Reda Dibo identified the victims as his 33-year-old brother, the brother's wife, and their three children, ages 1, 6, and 8. "They were children, angels, what more can we say?

There is nothing left to say after what you are seeing today, nothing at all," Dibo said.

The Israeli military stated it struck a Hezbollah member in a structure used for military purposes in the area. It said the location had been evacuated of civilians and that precise munitions and aerial surveillance were used to limit harm.

Israel has ordered residents of southern Lebanese towns to leave their homes and move north, including during the current ceasefire. More than one million people have been displaced by the evacuation orders and earlier bombing. More than 3,070 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon since March 2, including more than 200 children, nearly 300 women, and more than 110 healthcare workers.

-brokered ceasefire announced on April 16, with each side accusing the other of violations.
