Israeli strikes on Lebanese villages kill nine
Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli strikes on two villages, Saturday, one north of Beirut and another to the south, killed at least nine people.
The ministry in a statement said an Israeli enemy strike on Maaysra, a Shiite Muslim majority village in a mostly Christian mountain area north of Beirut, killed five people and wounded 14 others.
The statement said four people were killed separately and 14 others wounded in an Israeli enemy strike on Barja in the Shouf district south of the capital.
The official National News Agency, NNA, also reported unspecified casualties in an Israeli strike targeting Deir Billa, some 15 kilometres (nine miles) from the town of Batroun on Lebanon’s north coast.
It said families from south Lebanon had taken refuge in a house that was targeted.
In east Lebanon, the management of the Tal Chiha Hospital said in a statement that the facility sustained light material damage due to strikes that targeted the vicinity of the mainly Christian town of Zahle.
It reported no injuries to patients or staff and said the hospital was still operating.
Since September 23, Israel has been heavily bombarding Lebanon, saying it is targeting Hezbollah sites.
All four locations reported hit on Saturday are outside areas usually considered Hezbollah strongholds.

Donald Trump sacks four senior officials appointed by Biden first day at work
U.S. President Donald Trump, in a dramatic move on his first day back in the White House, announced the dismissal of four senior officials appointed by his predecessor, Joe Biden.
Using his signature phrase, “You’re fired,” Trump signaled the beginning of sweeping changes under his administration.
The announcement was made via Trump’s first post on Truth Social since his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States.
In the post, titled “YOU’RE FIRED,” Trump declared, “Our first day in the White House is not over yet! My Presidential Personnel Office is actively in the process of identifying and removing over a thousand Presidential Appointees from the previous Administration who are not aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again.”
The four officials named in the post were: Jose Andres, from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, Mark Milley, from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, Brian Hook, from the Wilson Center for Scholars, Keisha Lance Bottoms, from the President’s Export Council.
The post served as their official notice of dismissal.
President Trump wasted no time reversing Biden-era policies. He implemented a regulatory freeze, halting the issuance of new regulations, and signed an executive order mandating the return of federal officials to full-time, in-office work.
Additionally, he suspended 78 executive orders issued during the Biden administration.
During his 29-minute inaugural address, Trump outlined a vision for what he called a “Golden Age” for America, sharply criticizing the previous administration.
He labeled the Biden administration “radical and corrupt,” accusing it of mismanaging domestic crises, including the Los Angeles wildfires.
Trump’s bold actions foreshadow significant upheaval across federal institutions. His administration has hinted at further dismissals, potential department closures, and a reduction in civil service roles to streamline government operations.
As the President works to implement his campaign pledges, many in Washington brace for an intense and transformative term that promises to reshape the U.S. government.
