At least four people have been killed in the latest Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports, citing the state-run National News Agency (NNA).

In the town of Jebchit, two Syrians were killed in an attack on the plant nursery where they were working, NNA said.

A drone also hit a motorcycle on Martyr Sabra Street in Toul and a car in the Dhi’at al-Arab neighbourhood of Ansar, killing two people.

NNA said the death toll in yesterday’s attack on Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre has risen to four people, with 50 people injured. There was significant damage to the hospital wards, the parking garage and neighbouring buildings. NNA described this toll as “preliminary”.

Israeli warplanes also hit the Lebanese civil defence centre on the Masil road in the town of Kfarsir, and the Kassar al-Zaatar neighbourhood in the city of Nabatieh was subjected to an air raid.
