Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon killed 17 people on Monday, Lebanon's health ministry says - marking one of the deadliest few days there since a ceasefire began just over two weeks ago, BBC reported. 

It brings the number of those killed since Thursday to 110 , according to the ministry. Israel says it is targeting the armed Shia Islamist group Hezbollah.

The Lebanese casualty figures do not distinguish between civilians and combatants. However, two of the dead and 14 of the injured are children.
