Israeli strikes on a Lebanese village.<\/p>\n<p>Lebanese sources said seven people were killed in the Israeli attack overnight on Habbariyeh, making it one of the deadliest in recent violence.<\/p>\n<p>Israel said militants were killed, including one involved in attacks on Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The Lebanese group targeted said those killed were &#8220;rescuers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The strikes come as Israel and Hezbollah trade almost daily strikes across the border, which began with the start of the Israel-Gaza war following the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah

relief centre for Jamaa Islamiya, a Sunni Muslim group with links to Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>The Lebanese Ambulance Association, quoted by the Associated Press, called the strike a &#8220;flagrant violation of humanitarian work&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The Israel Defense Forces described the target as a &#8220;military compound&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>They said: &#8220;A significant terrorist operative belonging to the Jamaa Islamiya organisation who advanced attacks against Israeli territory was eliminated along with additional terrorists who were with him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to UN figures from before the
