Mother, two children among Lebanese killed by Israel in air raids

Others wounded in attacks on Lebanon towns of Souaneh and Aadchit while a woman was killed in Israel.

Israeli air raids in southern Lebanon have killed at least four people, including two children, the Lebanese Civil Defence says.

At least 11 people were wounded in the raids on the towns of Souaneh and Aadchit. One woman and her two children were killed in Souaneh while a Hezbollah fighter, named by the group as Hassan Ali Najm, was killed in Aadchit.

Wednesday’s attacks targeted several towns in southern Lebanon, including areas in Nabatieh governorate.

The strikes occurred deep inside Lebanese territory, raising fears of a new escalation.

The Israeli army said Wednesday that it had launched an “extensive wave” of air strikes in Lebanon.
