Israeli air strikes on a village in southern Lebanon have killed at least 11 people, including two children, according to reports from Lebanese state media.
The attacks, which took place shortly after midnight, struck the village of Kfar Rumman. The National News Agency, Lebanon's state media outlet, stated that nine people died in one strike that destroyed a three-storey residential building.
In a separate incident, two paramedics were killed when their car was hit in a second strike, the National News Agency also reported.
The Israeli military has indicated that it is currently investigating the reports of the strikes and casualties.
These latest attacks follow a series of Israeli strikes on Sunday, which reportedly killed seven people in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military stated that those strikes were carried out in retaliation for drone attacks by the armed group Hezbollah against its troops in occupied areas of the country.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has publicly condemned the attacks, describing them as a "dangerous escalation." President Aoun warned that the strikes jeopardise the US-brokered ceasefire agreement that was put in place in June.
The June ceasefire was intended to bring an end to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, a powerful armed and political group based in Lebanon.
