Israeli air strikes on the southern Lebanese village of Kfar Rumman have killed at least 11 people, including two children, according to Lebanese state media. The attacks come amid rising tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border and threaten to further destabilise the fragile ceasefire that ended last year's conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Nine people died when a strike destroyed a three-storey residential building in Kfar Rumman shortly after midnight, while two paramedics were killed in a separate strike on a car, Lebanon's National News Agency reported. The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports. The strikes follow attacks on Sunday that killed seven people in southern Lebanon, which Israel said were in retaliation for Hezbollah drone attacks on its troops in occupied areas. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun described the escalation as "dangerous" and warned it jeopardised the US-brokered ceasefire agreed in June.
