"Footage captured on Saturday shows injured people receiving treatment following an Israeli airstrike on the town of Al-Haniyah in south Lebanon. Lebanese state media reported that civil defence personnel had "recovered the bodies of five Syrian martyrs and provided emergency care to eight people wounded in the pre-dawn raid on Al-Haniyah,” before transferring them to hospital in Tyre. "I was taking crates out of the car to start picking fruit from the trees when suddenly the strike hit us. I ran away, but more strikes came one after another. I moved a short distance away, but some remained where they were and were martyred, and there were many injured," explained an eyewitness that was wounded in the incident. Israel had issued evacuation warnings for several areas in the Tyre area and said it was pressing on with strikes against 'Hezbollah-affiliated targets'. Lebanon’s Ministry of Health reported that 1,142 people were killed and 3,315 wounded between March 2-27. Tensions have escalated across the Middle East since the United States and Israel launched a joint military operation against Iran on February 28, amid diplomatic talks aimed at 'curbing Iran's nuclear and missile programmes'. Tehran responded with retaliatory strikes on Israeli and US assets in the region, accompanied by reports of explosions in several Gulf countries. Iran later confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with his son Mojtaba Khamenei named as his successor. The conflict spilt over into Lebanon as Hezbollah intervened 'in revenge' for the killing of the Iranian Supreme Leader. Shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, were disrupted following its closure. The latest escalation has driven oil prices above $100 per barrel, rattling global energy markets and sparking protests in several countries. "
