Israeli airstrikes 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 an attack that destroyed a residential building in Kfar Roummane overnight. A second attack on a vehicle killed a paramedic.
The Israeli military said it struck infrastructure sites belonging to the Shiite 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 "dangerous escalation" was jeopardizing the US-brokered ceasefire in June, which was intended to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
He called on the international community to put pressure on Israel to stop the attacks.
The Israeli military has intensified its attacks on southern Lebanon in recent days.
