The death toll from an Israeli strike on a Christian-majority village in northern Lebanon has risen to 21, with eight injured, according to the Health Ministry.

The ministry said the numbers were preliminary and DNA tests were being conducted to determine the identity of remains removed from the site.

Monday’s strike destroyed an entire building housing people who fled Israeli bombardment in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Red Cross.
