One woman was killed in an airstrike on the morning of September 27, 2024. Allegedly perpetrated by the Israeli military, the strike hit the town of Ghaziyeh, near Sidon in the south of Lebanon.

At 7:12 AM, a number of tweets announcing an air raid on the town of Ghaziyeh were published by various Palestinian news sources, including, but not limited to @F24online (Palestine Daily Newspaper), @qudsn (Quds News Network), and @Sa7atPl (a Palestinian journalistic platform). Initial reports were later corroborated by video footage from Asas Media, which depicted buildings with their external walls crumbled by the force of the blast, and mounds of rubble lining the streets.

The deceased was identified by the Bint Jbeil community as being Zainab Abdel Moneim al-Saghir (Umm Muhammad), who had been displaced to Ghaziyeh during the war. A memorial post by Fouad Esseily on Facebook described her as having been “kind-hearted” and “an innocent smiler”, and revealed that her parents and sister were also deceased before. Many sources shared an image of the late Zainab, a middle-aged woman in a beige hijab.

Where sources identified belligerents, all sources attributed the airstrike to the Israeli military.
