A purported Israeli strike at around 3 a.m. this morning killed nine people from the same family in the southern Lebanese border town of Shebaa, including four children, says mayor Mohammad Saab.
The state-run National News Agency reports the deaths in the strike early Friday in Shebaa. The report offers no other details and the Israeli military did not immediately acknowledge the strike.
