01:48Residents of the southern Lebanese city of Sidon on Tuesday gathered to mourn more than a dozen people killed in an Israeli strike on the village of Ain al-Dalb on Sunday.
45 people were killed in the attack and 70 were injured, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
Footage shows locals performing funeral prayers for 13 victims of the raid, as well as the funeral procession and burial ceremony at Ain al-Hilweh cemetery in the east of the city. Hundreds of mourners can be seen in attendance.
“It was a brutal, unjust, barbaric and Nazi attack by the Israeli enemy, which every day proves it is unjust, barbaric and Nazi,” said Sheikh Salim Soussan, Mufti of Sidon, who led the prayers over the bodies of the dead. “This city will remain patient and God-fearing until God grants victory for this nation.”
According to the National News Agency (NNA), Sidon officials condemned “the vicious Israeli attacks on Lebanon, especially the Ain al-Dalb massacre” and declared “mourning in solidarity with the families of the martyrs and the injured”.
The General Directorate of Internal Security Forces also asked the families of the missing to provide DNA samples to help identify victims.
On September 23, the IDF launched 'Operation Northern Arrows' with airstrikes against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley and Beirut's southern suburbs. Israel says the operation aims to enable tens of thousands of residents of northern Israel displaced by Hezbollah rocket attacks to return to their homes. The IDF announced that a 'precise strike on the central headquarters of Hezbollah' last Friday had resulted in the death of the Lebanese group's Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and Southern Front Commander Ali Karki.
The Israeli bombing has so far killed more than 1,100 people and injured over 6,000, while Hezbollah continued its rocket and missile attacks on northern Israel, including Haifa and Safed.
Tensions between the sides escalated in mid-September after a mass series of explosions of wireless communications devices used by Hezbollah left dozens dead and thousands injured, as well as a strike on Beirut which killed senior members of the group's military leadership.
Hezbollah, Lebanese, and Palestinian factions have been exchanging cross-border shelling with the IDF since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
