Lebanon's Health Ministry said on Thursday that 20 people, almost all Syrians, were killed in an overnight Israeli strike in east Lebanon after the Israeli military said it hit Hezbollah targets in the area. 

An "Israeli enemy strike on the village of Yunin" killed "20 people, including 19 Syrian nationals," the health ministry said in a statement.

Lebanon's National News Agency previously reported that 23 Syrians were killed in the strike.
