Israel kills by gunfire two residents — father and son — of Dibil, a Christian village in the South

Gunfire from the Israeli army targeting a pickup truck traveling on the main road between the Christian villages of Dibil and Rmeish (Bint Jbeil), along the southern border, killed two residents of Dibil, Georges Soueid and his son Elie.

The Israeli army and Hezbollah have been clashing on the outskirts of this locality, where more than 1,700 people still live, for several days. The Christian villages in the South remain mostly populated, despite the ongoing Israeli invasion and intense skirmishes with Hezbollah in many regions.

The president of the Dibil municipal council, Akl Naddaf, told the LBCI channel that the residents had "asked the authorities to grant them permission to move about safely, but without success." Naddaf added that the situation in the village is deteriorating day by day, and that the residents are no longer able to meet their most basic needs.

In fact, following the attack, fear has gripped the locals, who remain holed up in their homes, according to reports. Previously, they did not dare leave the village boundaries due to the fighting in the area. However, they had repeatedly stated that the Israeli army was not present inside the locality.
