Israeli jets strike Lebanese coastal city

Lebanese firefighters douse flames which erupted in a building due to an Israeli airstrike a day earlier on the Sfeir neighbourhood in Beirut's southern suburbs on October 23, 2024. Israel ramped up its air strikes on what it says is Hezbollah strongholds around the country and sent in ground troops late last month, in a war that has killed at least 1,552 people since September 23, according to an AFP tally of Lebanese health ministry figures.

TYRE: Israeli jets struck multiple buildings in Lebanon's southern coastal city of Tyre on Wednesday (Oct 23), sending large clouds of black smoke into the air.

The state-run National News Agency reported that an Israeli strike on the nearby town of Maarakeh killed three people. There were no reports of casualties in Tyre, where the Israeli military had issued evacuation warnings prior to the strikes.
