Israeli air strikes on a village in southern Lebanon have killed at least nine people, the Lebanese health ministry says.
Eight people, including a child and two women, were killed in one strike that destroyed a residential building in Kfar Roummane overnight, according to the ministry. A second strike on a vehicle killed a paramedic.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports.
On Sunday, Israeli strikes killed seven people across southern Lebanon, as the Israeli military retaliated for what it said were drone attacks by the Shia Muslim armed group Hezbollah on troops in occupied areas of the country.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said the "dangerous escalation" was jeopardising June's US-brokered ceasefire, which was meant to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
He urged the international community to put pressure on Israel to stop the attacks.
