Israeli strikes in southern Lebanese village kill 12

One of the overnight strikes in Kfar Remman destroyed a three-storey residential building

Israeli air strikes on a village in southern Lebanon have killed at least 12 people, the Lebanese health ministry says.

Eleven people, including two children and four women, were killed in a strike that destroyed a residential building in Kfar Roummane overnight. A second strike on a vehicle killed a paramedic.

The Israeli military said it struck infrastructure sites belonging to the Shia Muslim armed group Hezbollah, as well as "several terrorists" transferring weapons, in retaliation for a drone attack on troops in an occupied area of the country.

Israeli attacks across southern Lebanon have killed at least 27 people over the past three days, according to the health ministry.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said the "dangerous escalation" was jeopardising June's US-brokered ceasefire, which was meant to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

He urged the international community to put pressure on Israel to stop the attacks.
