The airstrikes followed the death of an Israeli soldier and the wounding of seven others in a rocket attack on the Israeli army’s northern headquarters in Safad, some 12 kilometers away from the Lebanese border.

The cross-border violence has killed at least 254 people on the Lebanese side, most of them Hezbollah fighters but also including 38 civilians. |
