At least nine people were killed by Israeli strikes on  two villages, one north of Beirut and another south of the capital, Lebanon’s health ministry said. 

One strike targeted Maaysra, a Shia-majority village in a Keserwan, a predominantly Christian district. The strike killed five people and wounded 14 others, the ministry said. 

Meanwhile, four people were killed and 14 others wounded in a strike on Barja in the Shouf mountains, a religiously diverse district south of the Lebanese capital.
