Beirut: An Israeli strike on a campus of Lebanon’s public university killed two academics, Lebanese state media said on Thursday.
The director of the faculty of sciences at the south Beirut campus of the Lebanese University, Hussein Bazzi, and professor Mortada Srour were killed by an Israeli drone strike on the university, the National News Agency said.
The campus is located on the edge of Beirut’s southern suburbs, an area under Hezbollah’s sway, and was spared in the last war between the pro-Iran militant group and Israel.
