Beirut [Lebanon], October 13 : At least 15 people were killed in Israeli strikes on three areas outside Hezbollah's traditional strongholds, according to Lebanon's health ministry, as reported by The Times of Israel.

The ministry reported the highest death toll from an attack on the village of Maaysra, situated north of Beirut. It said "nine dead and 15 wounded" in an "Israeli enemy strike" on the village of Maaysra north of Beirut, raising an earlier toll of five dead, as reported by The Times of Israel.

More casualties were reported in other areas. A strike on Deir Billa, near the northern town of Batroun, resulted in two fatalities, four injuries, and unidentified "body parts," according to the ministry.

It also reports two dead, four wounded and unidentified "body parts" in an Israeli strike on Deir Billa, near the northern town of Batroun, and said that four people were killed and 18 wounded in a strike on Barja, raising an earlier toll of 14 wounded for the raid in the Shouf district south of the capital, The Times of Israel reported.
