Lebanon health ministry says six killed in Israeli strikes on southern town

Lebanon’s health ministry has said six people including a woman and a child were killed in two Israeli strikes on a southern town where Israel’s army had issued an evacuation order despite a ceasefire.

The ministry statement has said eight other people, including a woman and a child, were wounded in the strikes on Habboush, where the state-run National News Agency had reported casualties after Israeli warplanes “launched a series of heavy strikes… less than an hour after warning” residents there to evacuate.
