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 US 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 Mar 2, followed an Israeli evacuation order for the entire city.
