There has been tension on the border between Israel and Lebanon ever since the war in Gaza started. Hezbollah and Israeli soldiers have shot at each other across the border, without crossing the border with soldiers. When Israel has now attacked with fighter jets, it increases the risk of war between the two countries, writes the AFP news agency. The Israeli Defense Force has not provided any details about the air attack, while Lebanese media reports that three villages have been hit. Several news agencies report that at least four civilians have been killed, including the two children. In addition, at least ten were injured in the attack. The airstrike takes place shortly after an attack against northern Israel, in which an Israeli soldier and eight others were wounded. No one has so far claimed responsibility for the attack, reports Al Jazeera. One of the rockets fired from southern Lebanon hit the hospital in the Israeli city of Safed.

In Israel, nine soldiers and six civilians lost their lives in the attack, according to official figures from Israel. Evacuating hospitals in Gaza On Wednesday, there are also reports of Israeli airstrikes in several places in Gaza, including in the town of Khan Younis, reports Al Jazeera. Earlier in the day, the channel reported that Palestinians who had sought shelter in the largest hospital in the city had started to leave the hospital. Many of those gathered here have fled from the fighting further north in Gaza. Israel’s Defense Forces ordered the evacuation of the hospital and cordoned off the area last month. Palestinians have been fleeing Khan Younis in recent weeks after the Israeli defense forces called for evacuation before a planned ground offensive. The ticket is from the end of January.

Khan Younis and Rafah, on the border with Egypt, are to be the main targets of an announced ground offensive from Israel. The plans have met with strong international reactions.
