Lebanon Says Three Dead, 30 Wounded in Israel Strikes on Tyre

The Lebanese health ministry said at least three people were killed and 30 others wounded on Friday in Israeli strikes on the southern city of Tyre.

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.
