An Israeli strike killed a woman and a child in south Lebanon on Wednesday, a security source says, days after Hezbollah vowed to inflict a price on Israel for killing civilians in the conflict across the Israeli-Lebanese border.
The woman and girl were killed in the strike in Majdal Zoun, a village some 6 kilometers (4 miles) from the border, according to the security source and another medical source.
The Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group has been trading fire with Israel since the Oct. 7 attack by its Palestinian ally Hamas on southern Israel, in a campaign Hezbollah claims is aimed at supporting Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
A statement from Israeli army spokesperson Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee on X says the Israeli army had carried out an attack on “a military building” in the village of Yaroun in southern Lebanon, and that Israeli warplanes had launched raids on three Hezbollah operational headquarters in the south.
It does not mention Majdal Zoun, which is about an hour’s drive from Yaroun.
