At least seven civilians killed in Israeli airstrike on Lebanese city of Tyre
An Israeli airstrike has claimed the lives of at least seven civilians in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre as the regime forces press ahead with their deadly aerial and ground offensive against the Arab country.
A Lebanese health ministry statement confirmed on Monday that an “Israeli enemy strike this morning on a building” in the center of Tyre killed “seven people and wounded 17 others.”
The death toll could rise as some of the injured are said to be in critical condition.
Rescuers worked to put out a smoldering fire at the site, where a residential apartment block had collapsed.
Later on Monday, the Israeli regime told residents in central parts of the ancient coastal city to leave immediately.
The Israeli occupation forces press ahead with their deadly airstrikes on Lebanon, killing and injuring more civilians across various towns and cities.
This is while a day earlier; five Lebanese were killed after an Israeli warplane struck a UN-run school housing the displaced in southern Lebanon.
At least eight people were also killed in Sidon, including three paramedics who were responding to those injured in an earlier attack.
A number of Beirut neighborhoods and several southern Lebanese cities were subjected to heavy Israeli strikes in recent weeks, leaving swathes in ruins.
The UN and other international organizations have denounced the Israeli aggression against Lebanon and demanded an immediate ceasefire there.
Israel has also been targeting Lebanon at different times after October 2023, when it launched the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
The Hezbollah resistance movement has been responding to the aggression with retaliatory operations.
Since late September, Israel has escalated its strikes against Hezbollah, killing its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and a number of its senior figures.
About 2,700 people have been killed by Israeli fire, and more than 12,500 others wounded since the clashes began last year, according to the health ministry.
Hezbollah has vowed to keep up its operations against Israel as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war.
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid recently admitted nearly 12,000 Israeli forces had been killed or injured in the regime's ongoing war in West Asia.
