ISRAELI air strikes on southern Lebanon have killed at least 19 people, including four women and three children, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. 

Israel’s military did not immediately comment, but it said that between Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon, it targeted more than 25 sites of alleged Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon.

In Beirut, the government said a single strike on the village of Deir Qanoun al-Nahr in the coastal Tyre province killed 10 people, including three children and three women. 

Three people were wounded, including a child.

According to the ministry, another air strike, targeting the southern city of Nabatieh, killed four people and wounded 10, including two women. A third strike in the nearby village of Kfar Sir killed five people, including one woman.

The latest deaths came the day after the death toll in the latest round of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah surpassed 3,000 and two days after the US-brokered truce in place since April 17 was extended for 45 days.

Israel’s military said one of its soldiers was killed in action in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, raising the Israeli army’s death toll to 21 since the latest conflict started.
