Israel Strikes Syria-Lebanon Border Crossings
Israel attacked four border points between Syria and Lebanon.
They said these places were used by Hezbollah, a group supported by Iran, to bring in weapons.
Another attack in a village in southern Lebanon hurt 19 people.
Israel warned people in some villages before the attacks.
Lebanon's president said Israel is being aggressive and hurting innocent people.
Hezbollah didn't say anything right away.
There was a truce last year between Israel and Hezbollah, but both sides say the other is breaking the rules.
Israel struck four border crossings between Syria and Lebanon, alleging they were used by Hezbollah for weapon smuggling.
A separate strike in the Lebanese village of Qennarit wounded 19 people, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
Israel warned residents of specific villages in southern Lebanon before the strikes, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the strikes, calling them a dangerous escalation targeting civilians.
Hezbollah has not yet commented on the strikes, and there was no immediate response from the group.
