Lebanon’s health ministry reports that an Israeli strike has killed at least six people, as Israeli forces launch attacks on northern Gaza shelters.

At least twelve heavy airstrikes have hit areas known to be Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut's southern suburbs, security sources and eyewitnesses said. The strikes came after an Israeli army spokesman sent a warning on the social media platform X to evacuate areas in Beirut's southern suburbs.

Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut's southern suburbs were hit by at least 12 heavy airstrikes on Tuesday, security sources and eyewitnesses said, as Israel's newly appointed defence minister rejected any talk of a possible ceasefire.
