At least eight people, including two children, were killed Wednesday when Israeli strikes targeted cars on a highway south of Beirut, Lebanon's Health Ministry said.
The airstrikes were the latest instance of Israeli violation of a cease-fire in its war on Lebanon and the Iran-backed armed group, Hezbollah.
The ministry said there were three strikes on the coastal highway leading south out of Beirut, all around 20 to 30 kilometers (12-19 miles) from the Lebanese capital, which "resulted in eight martyrs, including two children."
An Agence France-Presse (AFP) photographer saw a burnt-out car in the middle of the road and rescuers carrying a body at one of the sites, near Jiyeh.
On Saturday, similar strikes targeted two other cars in the same area.
