(KUNA) -- Israeli warplanes struck on Monday the coastal town of Al-Ghazia located just south of the port city of Sidon killing 15 people, a security source said. The source said the aircraft carried out three raids targeting residential districts in the town, killing 15 people and wounding 18 others. The strikes devastated three apartment buildings and 15 residences, the source said, adding that rescuers were facing enormous difficulties in trying to remove rubble and pull out victims trapped underneath.Earlier today, the assaulting jet fighters struck a residential building in the beachfront town of Al-Ghassania, farther to the south, killing a whole seven-member family.
