Israeli strikes killed a woman in her eighties in a south Lebanon village early morning, Lebanese state media said, with rescuers confirming the death to AFP.

The frontier between Lebanon and Israel has seen regular exchanges of fire, mainly between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, since the conflict in the Gaza Strip began on October 7.

“Hostile bombing on the town of Maroun al-Ras this morning killed a woman and wounded her husband,” Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) said.

Israeli artillery shells struck “residential neighbourhoods” in the town, hitting the house of the couple in their eighties, the agency added.

Rescuers who transported the pair to hospital confirmed her death to AFP, also blaming Israel for the strike.
