Summary
Twelve people, including two children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes on a village in southern Lebanon, according to the latest reported toll.
The attack followed another deadly day in the south, where Israeli strikes on Sunday killed at least seven people and destroyed an empty hospital.
Israel’s military separately said troops near Beaufort castle came under fire from a Hezbollah member in a house, lightly wounding two soldiers before the militant was killed.
The violence comes despite a U.S.-brokered truce that has been repeatedly breached, with Israel continuing strikes in Lebanon and Hezbollah launching drones at Israeli troops.
A June U.S.-mediated framework deal has stalled: Israel says it will not withdraw unless Hezbollah is disarmed nationwide, while Hezbollah rejects giving up weapons north of the Litani River.
