At least 21 people have been killed and eight others injured in a rare Israeli air strike in northern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese health ministry.Most of the Israeli air strikes over the past week have struck in the majority Shia south and the Bekaa Valley in the east - areas where Hezbollah is strong.However, a residential building in Aitou, a predominantly Christian village located in the mountains near the north-western coastal city of Tripoli, was struck on Monday.
A Lebanese security source said that the building was "targeted shortly after a man had arrived in a car". A house that had been rented to displaced families was hit, said the town's mayor Joseph Trad.
