Lebanon says 11 killed in Israeli strikes on Tyre

Israeli air strikes on the historic city of Tyre, known as Sour in Arabic, in southern Lebanon and surrounding areas killed 11 people on Tuesday amid an Israeli military warning for the entire city to evacuate.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported raids on more than a dozen other locations across the country's south, as Israel pressed on with its war against the militant group Hezbollah.

An Israeli strike near Tyre killed three people in the southern Lebanese city on Tuesday, the health ministry said, taking the death toll up to 11 in the region.

The strike also wounded nine people, including two women, the ministry added, further confirming an earlier toll of eight dead.
