BEIRUT (AA) - At least three people were killed, and three others injured Thursday in an Israeli airstrike on a town in northern Lebanon, the Health Ministry reported.

The strike targeted the town of Kfar Jouz near Nabatieh, and the deaths included a child. It also injured three others, the ministry said in a statement.

In a related development, Hezbollah said it targeted a group of Israeli soldiers near Talat al-Taihat with rocket-propelled weapons.

Tensions have spiked along Lebanon's border with Israel amid cross-border attacks between Hezbollah and Israeli forces as Tel Aviv presses ahead with an offensive against the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 41,100 victims since Oct. 7 following an attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas.
