At least two men were killed and others were reported injured after an alleged Israeli airstrike on the town of Trafsliyya, in southern Lebanon on 25 September, 2024.

Facebook user Al Hadath alleged that three had been killed, while Najah Yazbeck reported 10. Only two names, however, have been publicly reported. These were Ali Hassan Ghanem and Hassan Ayad.

Al Hadath reported that six had been injured. The extent of these injuries is not known; neither are the identities of the wounded.

Facebook user Ekher Khaber shared a photograph of Ali Ghanem, showing a bearded man on a motorbike. User Entissar Dib remembered his “dear cousin” Hassan Ayad, and attached a photograph of a middle-aged man in a grey shirt.

A funeral service was held for Ali Ghanem the following day, “after the noon prayer”.

Facebook user Jwaya First shared a video purporting to document the aftermath of the strike: people can be hear shouting in the distance, as the video pans over debris and dust.

Where sources identified a belligerent, all pointed to the Israeli military.
