Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported raids on more than a dozen other locations across the country’s south, as Israel pressed on with its war against the militant group Hezbollah.

An Israeli strike near Tyre killed three people in the southern Lebanese city on Tuesday, the health ministry said, taking the death toll up to 11 in the region.

The strike also wounded nine people, including two women, the ministry added, further confirming an earlier toll of eight dead.

The action came despite a warning the day before from Iran that it would resume attacking Israel if it continued striking its neighbour.

Tehran insists that Lebanon must be part of any deal to end the wider Middle East war, which Hezbollah pulled Lebanon into by attacking Israel in support of its backer Iran.

On Tuesday, Hezbollah urged Lebanese authorities to mend their relationship with the group’s backer Iran and benefit from Tehran’s support, days after Iran struck Israel in response to bombardment on south Beirut.

Last week Lebanon’s president and prime minister issued pointed calls for Tehran to stop interfering in their country’s affairs, after Hezbollah rejected a conditional ceasefire with Israel.
