An Israeli air strike on south Lebanon killed a woman and wounded her daughter on Wednesday, state media said, while a hospital source told AFP a young girl had also died.

Hezbollah and its arch-foe Israel have been exchanging near-daily fire across the border since the Israel-Hamas war broke out on October 7.

An all-out war between Lebanon and Israel could result in frequent power outages across Israel, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation Kan News said, based on reports by the Israeli health minister and the head of the Israeli health ministry.

The reports said that in case of a full-scale war, 60 percent of Israel would suffer from power outages, each one lasting two hours, multiple times a day.

Former president and Free Patriotic Movement founder Michel Aoun has tacitly criticized Hezbollah for deciding to activate the southern front against Israel in support of the embattled Hamas in Gaza.

“We do not have a defense treaty with Gaza and the side that can link fronts is the Arab League, but a part of the Lebanese people made a choice and the government is incapable of taking a stance,” Aoun said in an interview on OTV.

Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat sees that Lebanon has entered an "open war" with Israel.

In a post published Monday on the X platform, Jumblat warned that the war with Israel might last for months or even more.

U.S. State Department Arabic-language spokesperson Samuel Werberg has stressed that Washington does not support an expansion of the war between Lebanon and Israel.

Israeli warplanes targeted Tuesday the outskirts of Houla, Mays al-Jabal and Blida, a day after 14 people were wounded in strikes in Ghaziyeh, about 30 kilometers from the border.

Later on Tuesday, Hezbollah targeted a group of soldiers in the Ramim barracks, while Israel bombed al-Hamames Hill, al-Wazzani, Dhayra, Shihin, Marwahin, the Haramoun Hill, and Aita al-Shaab.

Lebanon's foreign ministry has urged the international community to condemn the "ongoing" Israeli attacks and to pressure Israel to stop dragging Lebanon into an all-out war, after 14 people were wounded Monday in two Israeli air strikes on Ghaziyeh.

In a statement Monday following the strikes, the foreign ministry, called on the international community to pressure Israel "to stop its provocative attempts... to lure Lebanon into a war that (Beirut) is seeking to prevent".

Violent Israeli airstrikes on Monday targeted the town of Ghaziyeh on Sidon's outskirts for the first time since the beginning of the Israel-Hezbollah border clashes.

Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee said the strikes targeted "Hezbollah arms depots near Sidon in response to the explosion of a hostile aircraft whose debris was found near the Tiberias area (in northern Israel) this afternoon."

Activists blocked Monday the road leading to the Egyptian embassy in Beirut in protest against the closure of the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.

Egypt, which controls the Rafah border crossing, has repeatedly warned against any "forced displacement" of Palestinians from Gaza into the Sinai desert.

Israeli warplanes carried out Monday several airstrikes on the southern border towns of Yarin, al-Bustan, and Odeisseh.

The Israeli army said its warplanes attacked "Hezbollah infrastructure" in the southern border town of Dhayra.
