Two civilians killed in Israeli strike on Tayrharfa
2024-05-11
[An Nahar] Two civilians, a first responder from Amal's Risala rescue group and a telecoms technician doing maintenance work, were killed Friday in an Israeli dronezap on the southern border town of Tayrharfa, as cross-border hostilities intensified.

A Risala Scout association rescuer and a technician from Power Tec, which undertakes maintenance work for private mobile service provider MTC Touch, were killed "as a result of the Israeli aggression on Tayrharfa", Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
's National News Agency said.

Workers from MTC Touch and the Ogero telecom provider were carrying out "maintenance on the transmission poles", the NNA said, adding they had sought permission from the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, or UNIFIL.

The Risala Scout association affiliated with the Amal movement, which operates rescue teams in south Lebanon, said the rescuer was killed when his team went to a location that had come under Israeli bombardment.

"The second strike came quickly, and one of the young men was martyred," a source from the association told AFP.

A source within MTC Touch said the strike hit a team that had been doing maintenance work in Tayrharfa.

"We lost communications with them because the station was hit," the source told AFP, requesting anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

"There were people from our team and from another company that does maintenance work for us, and there were also paramedics," the source added.

Israeli jets and drones had targeted Yaroun and Tayr Harfa as Israeli artillery shelled the southern border towns of al-Khiam and Blida and the town of al-Odaisseh with phosphorus bombs.

Hezbollah for its part targeted Friday a group of soldiers in the al-Malkia post and surveillance equipment in Misgav Am in northern Israel.

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

The group has stepped up its attacks in recent weeks, while Israel's military has struck deeper into Lebanese territory.
