Israel launches strikes in southern Lebanon

Lebanon's Health Ministry said one person was killed and 12 wounded in an Israeli strike in the town of Tebnine and another eight wounded in overnight strikes on the village of Burj al-Shemali. Artillery shelling also targeted the areas of Mansouri and Majdal Zoun.

The Israeli army launched strikes in southern Lebanon in response to what it described as Hezbollah's violation of the ceasefire and called on residents of the village of Mansouri to flee.

Israel's military said two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion in southern Lebanon, the first Israeli deaths since a shaky truce between Israel and Hezbollah began nearly two months ago.

The latest escalation came as Lebanese and Israeli negotiators met in Rome.
