Lebanese officials say 11 civilians, 4 Hezbollah men killed in Israeli strikes

Eleven civilians, including six children, were killed by Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon yesterday, a hospital director and three Lebanese security sources say, as Israel responded to a Hezbollah rocket attack that killed a soldier.

Four Hezbollah fighters were killed in separate strikes, according to the group and security sources.

Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire along the Israel-Lebanon border for more than four months, after the Lebanese terror group began launching rockets across the frontier in support of Hamas after the October 7 massacre.

A woman and her two children were killed in an Israeli strike on the village of al-Sawana, two security sources say.

A strike on a building in Nabatieh killed four more children, three women and a man, according to the director of the town’s hospital, Hassan Wazni, and three other security sources. Seven people were also wounded, Wazni tells Reuters.
