An Israeli airstrike on the northern town of Aitou hit a house that had been rented to displaced families, the local mayor said.
Israel expanded its targets in its war with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 18 people in an airstrike in the north, the Red Cross said, while millions of Israelis took shelter from projectiles fired back across the border.
At the Masnaa border crossing with Syria, Jalal Ferhat, his wife and five children were among those offloading belongings from buses, hoping to leave Lebanon. Israel says its operations in Lebanon are aimed at securing the return of tens of thousands of people displaced from their homes in northern Israel.The Israeli military said it had killed Muhammad Kamel Naim, commander of the anti-tank missile unit of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, in a strike in the Nabatieh area of south Lebanon. Hezbollah did not immediately comment.
UNIFIL has said previous Israeli attacks limited its monitoring abilities and UN sources say they fear any violations of international law in the conflict will be impossible to monitor.European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said EU member states had taken too long to condemn Israel’s attacks on UNIFIL soldiers, describing them as “completely unacceptable”.
