Hundreds of people gathered Sunday to mourn at least eight members of one displaced Lebanese family who were killed a day earlier when an Israeli airstrike hit the building where they were sheltering with no advance warning.

The Israeli military had issued evacuation warnings for several towns and villages in southern Lebanon on Saturday, but the town of Saksakiyeh, where the family was killed, was not among them.

The Israeli military said late Saturday that it had targeted militants from Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group, who were operating from a building used for military purposes in the area, but provided no further details. The military was aware of reports of civilian casualties in the targeted structure, and this was under review, the statement added.

In the coastal city of Sidon on Sunday, mourners dressed in black gathered at a cemetery to pray for the dead family. Among those killed were a married couple, three of their children, a 6-month-old grandchild, the father’s brother and a grandmother, according to relatives there.

Some wept and clung to the bodies, which were draped in green cloth and scattered with flowers. They kissed and embraced them before emergency workers took the bodies away for burial in their hometown, Jibchit, which had itself come under attack earlier on Sunday, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.

“They are gone. They are all gone,” some relatives cried out as the ambulances began leaving.

A truce reached about a month ago paused the on-again-off-again Israeli war with Hezbollah. Since then, the two sides have traded attacks almost daily. A new escalation over the last few days heightened fears that the truce is in danger of completely unraveling.

Israel began intensifying its bombing campaign in Lebanon on Thursday with a strike on the Dahiya neighborhood on the southern outskirts of the capital, Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold. It said it killed a senior Hezbollah commander in that strike.

Hezbollah has also ratcheted up its attacks, saying its fighters in southern Lebanon had targeted Israeli soldiers and equipment in recent days with artillery shelling, drones and a barrage of rockets. Southern Lebanon is home to a large portion of the country’s Shiite Muslim population, from whom Hezbollah draws much of its support.

Hezbollah has increasingly deployed fiber-optic drones, which are harder to detect or jam because they rely on physical cables rather than radio signals. The drones can fly low and fast and have been widely used in the war in Ukraine.

More than 450 people have been killed in Lebanon since the cease-fire was announced, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.

Israel has said 18 military personnel and two civilians have been killed as a result of Hezbollah’s attacks since the war began in early March.

On Sunday, Israeli airstrikes on the town of Bedias killed at least one person and wounded 13, including six children, the state news agency reported. Two paramedics were also killed and five wounded in Israeli strikes in two towns in southern Lebanon, the state-run agency said, citing the health ministry. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the strikes that killed the paramedics.

Israel’s strikes in recent days have edged farther north from the Israel-Lebanon border.

On Saturday, three people were killed in strikes on a road leading to Lebanon’s Chouf region, according to the state news agency. The Israeli military said on Sunday it had struck approximately 70 terror targets and killed more than 30 Hezbollah militants in the past week.

The family killed on Saturday was originally from Jibchit, another southern town that had been under Israeli evacuation warnings for months. Relatives said the family had remained because they owned farmland there and did not leave until about a week ago, when they moved north, farther from the Israeli border, to Saksakiyeh.

Jaafar Bahja, 25, a relative of the family, said he began repeatedly calling and texting family members on Saturday after hearing about the strikes in Saksakiyeh. At the funeral, he scrolled through unanswered phone calls and messages on his phone.

“I can’t believe they were killed,” he said, watching videos of the family as they sat together at their home in Jibchit, drinking tea and smoking a hookah pipe.
