The death toll of the Israeli strike earlier in the southern Lebanon town of Deir al-Zahrani, north of Nabatieh, has risen to four, according to Lebanese media.

The IDF has not yet commented on the strike, but said earlier that it conducted overnight attacks in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah in response to an “action” by the terror group against troops.

One overnight strike in Ansra, north of Tyre, killed seven and wounded three, according to Lebanese media.

This brings the total toll of Israel’s strikes in Lebanon today to 11.
