At least five people, including parents and their children, were killed and nine wounded in an Israeli strike on a house in southern Lebanon, the country’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported on Saturday.
“The attack against a house in the Khirbet Selm area killed a family of four, a couple and their two children, and another person,” NNA said, adding that the mother was pregnant.
The strike destroyed the house and caused damage to surrounding homes, wounding at least nine others.
The fighting is mainly along border areas, but fears have grown of a broader conflict in Lebanon.
Last Tuesday, a Lebanese couple and their son were killed in an Israeli strike on a house in the southern border village of Hula.
Earlier Saturday, Hezbollah announced that its fighters targeted Israeli military posts on the border with appropriate weapons, killing and injuring a number of soldiers.
