Israeli airstrikes on the southern Lebanese town of Kfar Reman killed at least ten people on Sunday, according to reporting from the region. A strike on a residential building killed nine people, including two children, and wounded five others. In a separate attack in the same town, two medics were killed when their vehicle was struck.

The strikes form part of the continuing Israel-Hezbollah conflict, which has repeatedly drawn criticism from humanitarian organisations over attacks affecting civilians and medical personnel in southern Lebanon. Israel has previously stated that some strikes target Hezbollah operatives and infrastructure, though details on the specific rationale for the Kfar Reman strikes were not immediately available.

The deaths add to a mounting civilian toll in the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, which has continued intermittently despite periodic efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region.
