Lebanon’s health ministry has said that an Israeli strike the previous day in the country’s south killed 11 people, including six women and a child, despite a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war, AFP reports.

“The Israeli enemy strike on the town of Sir al-Gharbiyeh in the Nabatieh district resulted in a massacre whose final toll is 11 dead, including a child and six women, and nine wounded, including four children and a woman,” the ministry said in a statement.
