STORYLINE:
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said on Tuesday at least five people were killed in the two strikes in Sidon while 33 others were wounded.

A third strike targeted another building in the area within a few hours, the National News Agency reported.

The target of the strike was also not clear and the Israeli army gave no warning prior to the strike.

Sidon resident, Ahmed al-Teryaqi said "we were sitting and all of a sudden we heard a missile, when it hit the building, it came down, then a second missile hit and a second building came down and the one next to it too."

Earlier in the day, the Israeli military had issued evacuation orders for 16 villages in South Lebanon, instructing residents to move north of the Awali River; however, there was no warning issued prior to the strikes in Sidon.
