An Israeli air strike on the southern port city of Tyre has left at least seven dead, among them five siblings, three of whom were deaf and mute, officials said.

The rise in Tyre’s death toll came as Israel’s air force carried out air strikes on different parts of southern and eastern Lebanon, hours after Beirut’s southern suburbs were pounded by jets, destroying several buildings, state media reported.
