Six of the bodies were recovered from under the rubble as the search continued for the remaining five in the village of al-Ain, reported National News Agency.

In southern Lebanon, the Risala Scout Association said five of its members were killed while performing their duties.

It said four of the men killed were from the southern village of Tayr Debba while the fifth was from nearby Kabrikha.

Israel has killed more than 700 people in Lebanon in less than a week when it intensified its airstrikes around the country forcing tens of thousands to flee their homes in south Lebanon, the eastern Bekaa Valley and Beirut’s southern suburb known as Dahiyeh.
