At least seven civilians have been killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon, security sources say, after Hezbollah rocket fire killed a soldier in Israel.

A woman and two children were killed in Souaneh, and at least four members of a family were later killed in Nabatieh.

Israel’s military said it hit Hezbollah infrastructure in response to a deadly rocket attack on northern Israel. At least two Hezbollah fighters were also killed in attacks in southern Lebanon.

Also, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted his troops will advance on the Gazan city of Rafah, defying outside pleas to reconsider.

French President Emmanuel Macron was the latest to warn Mr Netanyahu off, telling him the human cost of Israel’s operation in Gaza was “intolerable”.

But Mr Netanyahu has ordered his army to prepare for a ground assault.
