Eleven people were killed in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, according to local authorities. The attacks took place in areas in the south, and emergency services and officials are dealing with the results. Israel’s military said it carried out the strikes against what it called Hezbollah “terror infrastructure.” It also stated that the action was taken in response to earlier events that, it said, involved attacks on Israeli soldiers. Hezbollah is a major armed group in Lebanon, and it is often linked to conflict with Israel. The report highlights how quickly violence can escalate between the sides. With both sides describing their actions as retaliation, the risk of further attacks remains high. More information may come as authorities confirm locations and details about those who died.
