Israeli air strikes kill 11 in southern Lebanese village

State media in Lebanon report that two Israeli air strikes on Kfar Rumman in southern Lebanon have killed 11 people, including two children.

The first strike, arriving shortly after midnight, destroyed a three‑storey residential building, killing nine residents. A second strike hit a car, killing two paramedics.

Israel’s military said it was investigating the claims. The strikes came after Israeli forces had responded to drone attacks by Hezbollah on their troops in the occupied territories.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun warned that the attacks represented a "dangerous escalation" threatening the US‑brokered cease‑fire that paused hostilities between the two sides.

This latest series of strikes follows two days earlier when seven people were killed in southern Lebanon after Israel responded to earlier attacks by Hezbollah.
