Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli strikes early Thursday on a town in the hills overlooking Beirut killed three people and wounded a child.

Aramoun, a town about 10 kilometers (6 miles) south of Beirut where dozens of displaced families have found shelter, has been targeted twice since the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel renewed after Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel on March 2.

The health ministry also says the death toll from an earlier Israeli strike on central Beirut had risen to eight people, with 31 wounded.
