Israeli airstrike in Lebanon kill at least seven

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

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

Lebanon's Hezbollah group said it fired dozens of rockets on northern Israel and shot down a drone over south Lebanon. The group said that Israel's air force struck the area where the drone crashed.
