STORYLINE:
Israeli airstrikes hit the historic Lebanese port city of Tyre on Thursday.
The Israeli military had warned people earlier to evacuate from more areas of southern Lebanon, including a built-up Palestinian refugee camp near Tyre.
Israel invaded Lebanon at the start of October, after nearly a year of trading fire with Hezbollah.
The militant group began firing rockets, missiles and drones on northern Israel after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack triggered the war in Gaza. Iran backs both groups.
Israel had warned people to evacuate from large areas of the country, including major cities in the south and east. Over a million people have already fled their homes.
Israeli strikes killed seven people in eastern Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s state-run National News agency. Another strike killed a man on a motorcycle on the coastal highway between Tyre and Sidon.
The news agency also reported a strike on a car on a main highway running through the mountains outside the capital, Beirut.
It said the strike closed the highway, diverting traffic through nearby villages. There was no immediate word on casualties.
