Woman and children among four people killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon, say security sources | World News

A woman and two children are reported to be among four people killed in a wave of Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon.

Security sources told the Reuters news agency the deaths came during Israeli strikes on a village.

Eleven people were wounded across southern areas and the level of damage was “vast”, the sources said.

Lebanon’s powerful armed group Hezbollah said a strike on a separate town killed one of its fighters.

The strikes by Israel come after reports a woman had died and other people were injured in a rocket attack on northern Israel.

Israel’s military said it was responding to the rocket fire from Lebanon.

The strike launched from inside Lebanon hit a military base and wounded several people on Wednesday, according to an Israeli government spokesperson.

Hezbollah is thought to be behind the rocket attack, but has not claimed responsibility.

Media reports in Lebanon said buildings were on fire after the attacks by Israel.

Cross-border shelling has already killed more than 200 people in Lebanon, including more than 170 Hezbollah fighters, as well as around a dozen Israeli troops and some Israeli civilians.

It has also displaced tens of thousands of people in the border areas of each country.
