Israel hits deepest strike in Lebanon since clashes began

An Israeli air strike hit a convoy of trucks in Lebanon’s Hermel region near the border with Syria, killing several people.

This marks the northernmost strike on Lebanon since clashes erupted between Israel and Hezbollah on 8 October, a day after the beginning of the war in Gaza.

Additionally, the Israeli army announced the death of four soldiers who were killed in a booby-trapped building in Rafah, southern Gaza on Monday.

Chipmaker Intel Corp is also set to halt plans for a $25bn factory in Israel, according to Israeli financial news website Calcalist.
