Israeli strikes kills 10 in south Lebanon

In a statement, the Lebanese ministry said "six people were martyred" including two rescuers from the Risala Scouts association and a Syrian girl in a strike on Deir Qanun al-Nahr village near the city of Tyre.

The association is linked with the Hezbollah-allied Amal movement.

An earlier strike on the southern town of Hanaway on Friday killed four rescuers from the Hezbollah-linked Islamic Health Committee, the ministry said.

Separately, the Israeli military said early on Friday morning that it had killed two people close to the border.

"IDF surveillance identified two armed individuals moving in a suspicious manner hundreds of metres from Israeli territory, in southern Lebanon," it said in a Telegram post.

"Following their identification and continuous monitoring by the IDF, the armed individuals were struck and eliminated in an aerial strike," the post said.

On Friday evening, the Israeli military issued a new evacuation warning for the Lebanese village of Burj Rahal, near Tyre, via its Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee.

He said the military was acting against Hezbollah.

The militant group, meanwhile, said it had targeted Israeli troops and positions inside Lebanon and in northern Israel near the border.
