Israel launched an air strike on a Palestinian refugee camp near the southwestern Lebanese coastal city of Saida on Tuesday night (November 18), killing at least 13 people. The Israel Defense Forces said the targets of the air strikes were Hamas' "training facilities".

The Lebanese national News agency reported that an Israeli drone launched three missiles to attack a mosque and a nearby car in the Ain al-Helweh refugee camp, causing a fire at the scene. The Lebanese Ministry of Health said that the air strike had killed at least 13 people and injured many others.

Sources from Lebanon's civil defense department and the Red Cross told Xinhua News Agency that multiple rescue teams are still searching for survivors in the ruins.

The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement confirming the air strike on the Ain Khalwe refugee camp and said that Hamas militants used a "military compound" within the Palestinian refugee camp for training and exercises, aiming to plan and launch attacks against Israel.

The statement said that the Israeli army is attacking Hamas strongholds in Lebanon and will continue to strike Hamas militants operating elsewhere.
