BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon’s health ministry says seven people including two children were killed in Israeli strikes on the southern city of Tyre yesterday, with rescuers still searching for missing people under the rubble.
Israel has been carrying out airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon alongside its ground offensive in the south of the country.
“Israeli enemy strikes on the city of Tyre killed seven people including two girls, and injured 46 others,” the ministry says, adding that body parts had been found and will be “identified with DNA testing.”
It adds that rubble was being cleared following the strikes as part of ongoing efforts to locate missing persons.
The ministry had on Friday reported a toll of three killed and 30 injured in the strikes.
AFP photos show rescuers carrying bodies on stretchers amid the wreckage in Tyre, as rubble and twisted metal were strewn across the street.
