Lebanon says five killed in Israeli strike on southern village

Lebanon’s health ministry says five people were killed in an Israeli strike on a village about 25 kilometers (15 miles) from the Israeli border, which state-run media says targeted a house.

“The Israeli enemy strike on Tefahta killed five people,” the ministry says in a statement, with the official National News Agency reporting that “enemy aircraft launched a strike a short while ago on the town of Tefahta, targeting an inhabited house.”

The ministry doesn’t say if those killed are civilians or Hezbollah operatives. Israel says its strikes are directed against the latter.
