BBC visits scene of Israeli air strike in Lebanese village

The BBC has visited the scene of an Israeli air strike that killed nine civilians, including two children, a pregnant woman and her unborn child in a village in southern Lebanon.

Correspondent Orla Guerin was told by rescue workers, relatives, and the mayor that all were civilians and members of one extended family.

The village of Shebaa, which is Sunni, is almost on the border with Israel. It is not a stronghold of Hezbollah, a Shia armed group, which Israel says was the target of the strike.

Nearly 800 people have been killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon since Monday, local officials say.
