Israeli air raids have destroyed an Ottoman-era market in the southern city of Nabatieh overnight, killing at least one person and wounding four.
Lebanon’s Civil Defense officials on Sunday said they battled fires in 12 residential buildings and 40 shops in the market, which dates back to 1910.
“Our livelihoods have all been levelled to the ground,” said Ahmad Fakih, whose corner shop was destroyed.
Rescuers were searching for survivors and remains in the pancaked buildings early on Sunday as Israeli drones buzzed overhead.
Nabatieh was one of dozens of communities across southern Lebanon that Israel has warned people to evacuate, even as the city hosts people who have already been displaced.
