BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel has carried out multiple air strikes on Lebanon after several rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel, in the worst violence since a ceasefire came into effect in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israeli military said it had hit dozens of rocket launchers and a command centre belonging to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia and political group, in southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lebanon’s health ministry said seven people, including a child, were killed and 40 injured in the air strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several armed groups operate in Lebanon, including Hezbollah and Palestinian factions, and no-one has claimed responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hours after the first set of strikes, a second wave of attacks were carried out at night on targets that included what the Israeli military described as command centres, infrastructure sites and a weapons storage facility in Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturday’s rocket attack from Lebanon came days after Israel reinforced its offensive against Hamas, a Hezbollah ally, in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israeli military said it had intercepted three rockets in the northern Israeli town of Metula, and there were no casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hezbollah said it had no involvement, and it remained committed to the ceasefire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lebanese military said it had dismantled “three primitive rocket launchers” in the south, and the country’s defence minister said an investigation had been launched into the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The developments put pressure on a fragile truce, brokered by the US and France, that ended more than a year of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the terms of the ceasefire deal, the Lebanese military would deploy thousands of additional soldiers to the south of the country to prevent armed groups from attacking Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hezbollah was required to remove its fighters and weapons, while the Israeli military would withdraw from positions occupied in the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Israel has carried out nearly daily air strikes on what it describes as Hezbollah targets, and has indicated that attacks will continue to prevent the group from rearming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
