Three children and their grandmother were killed in an Israeli strike on a car in southern Lebanon on Sunday, a Hezbollah lawmaker from the area said, calling the attack "a dangerous development" that would have repercussions.
"The enemy will pay the price for its crimes against civilians," lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah told Reuters. He said the children were aged between 8 and 14. Their mother had been wounded in the attack on the car as it was moving between the villages of Aynata and Aitaroun, he added.
Asked about earlier reports from security sources in Lebanon that an Israeli strike had killed three people in a car near Aynata, an Israeli army spokesperson said the army would be a releasing a statement later on Sunday about a strike in Lebanon.
