Lebanon's health ministry said one person was killed and 15 people were wounded Saturday in an Israeli strike on the Galerie Semaan area on the outskirts of Beirut's southern suburbs.

The ministry announcement came as the official National News Agency said the "Israeli enemy launched a raid near Karout Mall... in the southern suburbs of Beirut."

The strike was not preceded by an Israeli evacuation warning.

TV networks said the strike targeted a motorbike showroom located on the ground floor of a building.
