An Israeli air attack on Kfar Reman in southern Lebanon reportedly killed at least 10 people, including children and a two-month-old infant, according to Al Jazeera. At least two people were reported missing after the overnight strike in the Nabatieh district.

Civil defence workers continued recovery efforts on Monday, as uncertainty and fear spread across southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera reported. The identities of those missing and the status of the recovery operation were unclear.

The attack followed Israeli raids on the nearby town of Arab Salim that reportedly killed at least seven people and wounded 20 others. It is unclear whether casualty figures from the separate strikes overlap.

Israel also struck a residential area in Deir al-Zahrani after issuing a forced evacuation order. The Israeli military said it had targeted a building near a Hezbollah facility, alleging it was used to launch an explosive drone. That claim has not been independently verified in the supplied material.

The strikes occurred despite a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon reached in June, as tensions continued to rise across southern and eastern Lebanon.
