Israel struck the historic port city of Tyre in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, killing at least eight people, the Lebanese health ministry said.
On Monday, Israel and Iran halted direct attacks on each other after an appeal by U.S. President Donald Trump for them to stop, but Tehran said it would resume hostilities if Israel continued to attack its ally, the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.
The Israeli raids, the deadliest on Tyre since fighting erupted in Lebanon on March 2, followed an Israeli evacuation order for the entire city.
A video purporting to show the aftermath of a deadly strike on the city's eastern edge, whose location was verified by Reuters, showed debris strewn all along one road. Lebanese state media said rescuers were still searching for survivors.
