As Israel continues to attack targets connected to Hezbollah in Lebanon, the BBC visited the remains of a home where eight members of a family, including three children, were killed in a strike.

The yellow flag of the Iran-backed armed group was hanging on top of a pile of rubble in the northeastern town of Younine. There were children's toys and packets of sweets among the debris.

The Israeli military told the BBC it had targeted "Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure while Hezbollah operatives were present".

Neighbours and relatives at the scene said they had no knowledge of this.
