Lebanese authorities report that at least 14 have been killed in two separate Israeli strikes on towns in southern Lebanon.

The health ministry says eight people have been killed in a strike on the southern coastal city of Sarafand.

“The Israeli enemy raid on Sarafand this evening has, according to a provisional toll, left eight dead and 21 wounded,” a ministry statement says, adding that rescue workers are searching for survivors.

An earlier strike further north in a village near Sidon left six dead and 37 wounded, according to a toll from the ministry.

The strike hit a small building, causing significant damage, an AFP correspondent in Haret Saida says, with dozens of rescuers rushing to clear the rubble.

There was no immediate comment from the IDF, which has said it is targeting Hezbollah infrastructure often situated in civilian areas.

Lebanese state media reports that Israeli tanks have entered the outskirts of the village of Khiam, their deepest incursion yet into south Lebanon in a ground operation launched last month.

The official National News Agency reports the entry of “a large number of tanks belonging to the Israeli occupation army” into the eastern outskirts of Khiam, some six kilometers (nearly four miles) from the border with Israel.

Hezbollah claimed to destroy two tanks using guided missiles and to have targeted Israeli troops south and southwest of Khiam with rockets and artillery. Lebanon’s National News Agency says Israeli forces carried out a series of air attacks on Khiam today and launched a large-scale sweep “using heavy and medium weaponry.”

There was no immediate comment from the IDF on any operations in that area.

Earlier today, the IDF said it demolished an underground Hezbollah command center and another bunker where explosives were stored underneath a village in southern Lebanon.
