The Lebanese Red Cross said 18 people were killed in fresh strikes hitting the country’s northern town of Aitou on Monday.
The strike, which Lebanese officials say was carried out by Israel, would mark the first time Israel has targeted the Christian-majority northern region in a year of hostilities, according to news agency Reuters.
On Sunday, 51 people were killed by Israeli strikes across Lebanon, the health ministry said.
It comes after Israel experienced one of the deadliest attacks launched against it by Hezbollah in a year of fighting, after a drone attack killed four Israeli soldiers at an army base south of Haifa on Sunday night.
Reports suggest multiple casualties in the Christian-majority region in Lebanon’s north.
