"The Israeli enemy strike on Almat in the Jbeil district killed 20 people, including three children and injured six, in an updated toll," the health ministry said in a statement.

The ministry also said Israeli strikes killed three rescuers in the south, as reported by AFP.

In videos purporting to show the aftermath of Sunday's strike in Aalmat, some 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of Beirut, people were seen pulling the body of a little girl out of the rubble, AP reported.

The house had been flattened, and several cars nearby were also damaged.

Earlier, Lebanese official media reported an Israeli strike on a house in the main eastern city of Baalbek, which was not preceded by an Israeli army evacuation warning.

"Enemy aircraft launched a strike on a house in the Al-Laqees neighbourhood" of the city, the state-run National News Agency said.

Overnight and Sunday morning, Israel conducted a series of air strikes on southern and eastern villages and locations, NNA said.

On Saturday, Israeli strikes killed 20 people in eastern Lebanon and 13 in the south, according to health ministry figures.

More than 3,130 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israeli aggression began in October last year, according to Lebanon's health ministry, most of them since September 23.
