Eleven people were killed in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, according to local authorities. The attacks hit areas close to the border, and the deaths were reported after the strikes. Israel’s military said it carried out the strikes to target Hezbollah infrastructure. It described the targets as part of “Hezbollah terror infrastructure.” The military also stated that the action was a response to earlier events that, it said, involved attacks against Israeli soldiers. Hezbollah is a major armed group in Lebanon. The reports add to fears that the conflict could widen. More information may come as officials investigate the damage and the exact locations affected.
