Israeli strikes in southern Lebanese village kill nine
Lebanon says a recent Israeli escalation is jeopardising a US-brokered ceasefire meant to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israeli air strikes on a village in southern Lebanon have killed at least nine people, the Lebanese health ministry says.
Eight people, including a child and a woman, were killed in one strike that destroyed a residential building in Kfar Remman overnight, according to the ministry. A second strike on a vehicle killed a paramedic.
On Sunday, Israeli strikes killed seven people across southern Lebanon, as the Israeli military retaliated for what it said were drone attacks by the Shia Muslim armed group Hezbollah on troops in occupied areas of the country.
The second strike hit a vehicle carrying paramedics from the Risala Scout Association, killing one of them and injuring two others, according to the ministry. The association is an emergency service affiliated with the Amal movement, a Shia group allied to Hezbollah.
