Residents in Lebanon’s Sidon have said Israel gave no warning before attacking the suburb of Haret Saida on town’s outskirts, killing at least seven people, Al Jazeera reports.

“We were sitting and all of a sudden, we heard a missile. When it hit the building, it came down, then a second missile hit and a second building came down and the one next to it too,” Ahmed al-Teryaqi, a resident of Sidon, told Al Jazeera.

“They have no mercy and no faith.”

Lebanese health officials say the Israeli attack also wounded more than 20 people, Al Jazeera added.
