Two people were killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting a house in the village of Ainata in southern Lebanon, Lebanon’s Public Health Emergency Operations Centre confirmed on Sunday.

The centre, affiliated with Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health, reported that Israeli warplanes fired two air-to-ground missiles at the house, causing casualties and destroying the structure, according to Xinhua news agency.

“Civil Defence teams are working to clear the rubble,” a Lebanese security source said.

In a separate attack, Israeli helicopters fired three missiles at prefabricated homes in the village of Kafr Kila in southeastern Lebanon, destroying them completely. The temporary homes had been set up about two weeks ago as provisional shelters while residents rebuilt their damaged houses. No casualties were reported from this attack.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported that an Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade on Sunday noon near a civilian inspecting his home in the village of Ramyah.

Additionally, the NNA stated that the Lebanese Red Cross transported three bodies from the village of Al-Qasr, near the Syrian border, to Hermel Governmental Hospital. Security forces are investigating the incident.

On Sunday, the Israeli military reported that a gunshot hit a vehicle in the northern Israeli community of Avivim. No injuries were reported, but the military said the shot likely came from Lebanese territory. Israeli troops were scanning the area and reviewing the incident.

Israel’s state-owned Kan TV News reported that the gunfire was likely from errant shots fired during a funeral in southern Lebanon.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz ordered strikes on targets in Ainata in response to the gunfire. He warned Lebanon, saying, “We will not allow fire from Lebanese territory toward northern Israeli communities. We will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire.”

Later on Sunday, Israel’s military said it targeted a command and control centre of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force and other Hezbollah-linked structures in southern Lebanon, claiming their presence violated agreements between Israel and Lebanon.

Although a ceasefire agreement has largely held since November 2023, ending more than a year of hostilities following the war in Gaza, Israel has maintained a military presence and conducted dozens of strikes in Lebanon, leading to casualties and rising tensions.
