At least 11 people, including two children and two medics, were killed in Israeli strikes on Kfar Rumman in southern Lebanon early Monday, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.

Israeli warplanes struck a residential building in the town just after midnight, killing nine people and wounding five others, the agency said. A separate Israeli drone strike hit a civilian vehicle and killed two medics inside it.

The strikes took place without an online evacuation warning from the Israeli military, according to the report. Israel has intensified its bombardment of southern Lebanon in recent days, despite a June ceasefire intended to halt fighting between the Israeli military and Hezbollah.

At least seven people were also killed in Israeli strikes on Sunday. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to questions about the attacks, including whether it knew that children and medics were present.
