The Israeli army allegedly targeted several locations in southern Lebanon on Monday, including three air strikes on Jabal Tourah in the Jezzin region, which destroyed a goat farm belonging to the Ammar family, according to the official Lebanese News Agency.

"I feel deeply sad. Our livelihood matters. This is what happened," shared Yousef Halima, a shepherd.

The agency also reported that more than 700 goats were killed in the attack.

Footage shows dead and injured goats in a yard, with the shepherd inspecting the animals and collecting the dead. The destruction of the farm and buildings is also visible in the video.

"I am a shepherd. I have 200 goats from the Ammar family. We went out yesterday evening and went to Kafr Houneh. I come here every day at 5 am. Suddenly, the farm was bombed," he explained. "As you can see, the goats are lying dead all over the place, some ran away but we managed to bring them back. The farm was destroyed".

The Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture condemned the Israeli raid, calling it 'a blatant violation of Lebanese sovereignty and international law' that would harm the livelihoods of local farmers.

The ministry called on the international community and international human rights organisations to intervene immediately to condemn this 'aggression' and 'provide assistance and support to those affected'.

On the other hand, the Israeli army reported that 'the Israeli air force struck a Hezbollah military site in Jabal Tourah in Lebanon', adding that it targeted a weapons depot in the Qabrikha area and a military building in Talusa, as well as Hezbollah infrastructure in Houla and Ayta al-Shaab.

Hezbollah and Palestinian factions have been exchanging cross-border fire with Israeli forces since 8 October, the day after the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
