KFAR RUMMAN, Lebanon – Israeli airstrikes overnight killed 11 people in a south Lebanon village, including two infants, Lebanese state media said Monday, a day after separate raids left seven dead.<\/p>\n

Israel has been intensifying strikes in the southern Nabatieh area after it said Thursday it had seized the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge from Hezbollah, a claim the Iran-backed group has not commented on.<\/p>\n

Fighting in Lebanon, which erupted in March after Hezbollah targeted Israel in support of Iran, had decreased since a June memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran on the wider Middle East war and an Israel-Lebanon framework agreement later that month.<\/p>\n

On Monday Israel\u2019s foreign ministry accused Hezbollah of \u201crepeated drone attacks\u201d and \u201cattempting to rebuild its military capabilities in southern Lebanon\u201d.<\/p>\n

The ministry said Hezbollah had violated the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel that includes disarmament of the group.<\/p>\n

Lebanon\u2019s official National News Agency (NNA) said nine people were killed in a strike overnight that destroyed a three-story residential building in Kfar Rumman, near Nabatieh.<\/p>\n

Two rescuers in the area whose car was targeted were also killed, the agency said.<\/p>\n

An AFP photographer saw the building completely destroyed, with school books and remnants of furniture strewn across the rubble.<\/p>\n

Rescue teams were searching the debris on Monday morning in search of other victims.<\/p>\n

Kfar Rumman villagers had returned home following the June truce after being displaced by the war.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we returned here, we\u2019ve lived in fear,\u201d Fouad Chakaron told AFP.<\/p>\n

He insisted the targeted building was inhabited by \u201cpeaceful people with no connection to anyone\u201d.<\/p>\n

Neighbors fled after the strike, which also damaged nearby buildings, AFP\u2019s photographer said.<\/p>\n

Israel issued no warning to Kfar Rumman before the strikes but released an evacuation order ahead of a separate strike in nearby Deir Zahrani.<\/p>\n

The army said an explosive drone had been launched towards its forces and \u201cHezbollah\u2019s terrorist activity compels the IDF to act forcefully against it\u201d.<\/p>\n

It did not specify whether any Israeli soldiers were wounded.<\/p>\n

The military warned in a message in Arabic that it was targeting a \u201cHezbollah terrorist facility\u201d, and said those who remained in the area were at risk.<\/p>\n

The NNA reported that the Israeli strike destroyed the building in Deir Zahrani 22 minutes after the warning was issued.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun urged Washington and the international community to help stop Israeli attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KFAR RUMMAN, Lebanon – Israeli airstrikes overnight killed 11 people in a south Lebanon village, including two infants,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":282291,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[32],"tags":[69261,3065,76811,1688,48907,100,423,41017,97,76476,76810,24213,93,187,16487,7227,10274,62782],"class_list":["post-282290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lebanon","tag-ali-al-taher-ridge","tag-ceasefire","tag-deir-zahrani","tag-drone-attacks","tag-evacuation-order","tag-hezbollah","tag-idf","tag-iran-backed-group","tag-israeli-airstrikes","tag-kfar-rumman","tag-kfar-rumman-strike","tag-lebanese-president-joseph-aoun","tag-lebanon","tag-middle-east-war","tag-military-capabilities","tag-nabatieh","tag-national-news-agency","tag-terrorist-activity"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117230910153244440","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282290\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
