BEIRUT: At least seven have been killed and 46 others injured in an initial toll following Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon’s coastal city of Tyre, Lebanon's health ministry said on Saturday.
The official National News Agency said the strikes targeted three buildings in the city and caused heavy damage to neighboring apartment blocks.
It said Israel had issued no evacuation warning ahead of the strikes.
Israel has been at war with Lebanese militant group Hezbollah since late September, when it broadened its focus from fighting Hamas in the Gaza Strip to securing its northern border, even as the Gaza war continues.
Hezbollah began low intensity strikes on Israel in support of Hamas following its Palestinian ally’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel which triggered the Gaza war.

Israeli settlers install mobile homes on Palestinian lands near Ramallah
- Israeli forces have carried out 1,523 violations this year, while settlers committed 621 attacks against Palestinians, a settlement watchdog said
- Some of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank since 1967 started as mobile homes that later expanded into permanent structures
LONDON: Israeli settlers set up mobile homes east of the Ramallah and Al-Bireh district in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, potentially marking the initiation of a new illegal outpost in the area.
Residents told the Wafa news agency that the makeshift settler units were installed between the towns of Burqa and Deir Dibwan to expand the Ramat Migron settlement, which is built on Palestinian-owned land.
Some of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank since 1967 started as mobile homes that later expanded into permanent structures. Many outposts begin without official approval but were later legalized by Israeli authorities, the Wafa added.
Israeli forces have carried out 1,523 violations this year, while settlers committed 621 attacks against Palestinians, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission. The most incidents occurred in Ramallah and Al-Bireh (360), followed by Hebron (348), Bethlehem (342), and Nablus (334).
All settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law.
Excluding East Jerusalem, which was occupied and annexed by Israel in 1967, some 500,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank, along with about 3 million Palestinian residents.
