BEIRUT (AA) - A new wave of Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon and suburbs of Beirut and Mount Lebanon governorate injured 11 people, state news agency NNA reported.

Seven people were injured in an Israeli airstrike on the town of Shaqra in Bint Jbeil district, while four others were injured in shelling targeting Srifa.
An Ethiopian woman was wounded in an airstrike on an apartment in Aramoun, Mount Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes struck the Al-Kafa'at and Hara Harik areas in Beirut. The towns of Taybeh, Majdal, Zibqin, Yater, Kfar Qaana, Ain Baal, and Deir Kifa were also hit.
On Monday evening, the Health Ministry said the death toll since the start of Israeli attacks had risen to 886, including 111 children and 67 women, with 2,141 injured.
