The chance of a full-scale war breaking out between Israel and forces in Lebanon increased in recent days, Israeli officials said, even as fighting continued around the Gaza Strip’s biggest hospital, crippling the facility where doctors said hundreds of civilians were sheltering and more patients were dying.
On Sunday, at least 10 Israeli civilians and seven soldiers were wounded by a combination of mortar, rocket and antitank missiles fired on northern Israel from Lebanon, according to Israeli military and medical authorities. The assault was the most serious incident involving civilians along the Lebanon-Israel border since an Israeli airstrike in south Lebanon on Nov. 5 killed a woman and three children.
