An Israeli strike on Lebanon killed three people, the health ministry said, with Israel saying they were Hezbollah members, as tensions intensified after Israel expanded aims to include its northern border, AFP reports.

The health ministry said an “Israeli enemy strike” on the border village of Blida killed “three people and wounded two”, without specifying if they were fighters or civilians.

Israel’s military said its air force “eliminated three terrorists” from Hezbollah who were at a “terrorist infrastructure site” in the Blida area.

Hezbollah did not immediately announce any fighters had been killed, but claimed a series of attacks on Israeli troops and positions near the border.
