Israeli airstrikes kill 12 people, including two children, in southern Lebanon

A series of Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon since Friday night have killed and wounded dozens of people, including women, children, and paramedics, despite a US-brokered ceasefire.

Lebanon says a recent Israeli escalation is jeopardising a US-brokered ceasefire meant to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Israel strikes sent smoke billowing over villages and towns in southern Lebanon on Sep 7 as the bombardment intensified despite a June ceasefire with Hezbollah. Footage filmed from Marjayoun captured explosions and thick plumes rising across the area.

Israeli airstrikes killed at least a dozen people, including two children, in southern Lebanon early Monday as renewed fighting between Israel and Hezbollah puts a U.S.-brokered truce on shaky ground. Two strikes hit the village of Kfar Rumman, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
