Israeli air attacks in southern Lebanon have killed at least 11 people, including two children and two medics, Lebanese state media reported.

Israeli warplanes hit a residential building early on Monday in the town of Kfar Reman in southern Lebanon, killing nine people including two children, and wounding five others, Lebanon’s National News ‌Agency (NNA) reported.

A separate Israeli drone attack on a civilian vehicle in the town killed two medics inside the car, NNA said.

The pilot zones are meant to act as a test area for the Lebanese army to disarm Hezbollah and for the Israelis to withdraw, although they still occupy dozens of villages in southern Lebanon and Israel has refused further withdrawals, leading to a “stalled” diplomatic process, according to Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr.
