Israeli strikes overnight in the south Lebanon city of Tyre killed seven people, a source from Lebanon’s civil defence told AFP, despite a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war.

One strike near the Jabal Amel hospital killed four people, wounded seven and lightly damaged the facility, while another elsewhere in the city killed three and wounded five, including two children.
