ALERT: several senior Iranian military officials killed in strike on Tehran, announces Donald Trump
In breaking news, the following story has emerged from the international scene.
The death toll from today’s strikes on Lebanon rises to seven. Seven people were killed and more than 40 injured by Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday.
A strike in Maaraka near Tire left five dead and one injured, said Saturday evening the Lebanese Ministry of Health, which had previously indicated that in Habbouche, a village neighboring Nabatiyeh, the main southern town, two little girls had been killed by an Israeli strike which also injured 22 other people.
On the coast, the city of Tire and its surroundings were targeted by several bombings during the day, one of which, according to the ministry, damaged one of the city’s main hospitals.
The Israeli army notably struck three buildings which it had ordered to be evacuated earlier, according to the official Ani News Agency. A five-story building was half destroyed, and another 11-story building collapsed, according to an Agence France-Presse correspondent.
Some 20,000 people, including around 15,000 displaced from neighboring villages, are still in Tyre, despite repeated Israeli evacuation orders, which have thrown tens of thousands of people onto the roads.
Israeli strikes killed 1,422 people, including 126 children, according to the latest official report on Saturday, and displaced more than a million people.
