Israeli strike kills seven in Lebanon hours before ceasefire Lebanon’s health ministry says an Israeli strike on the southern town of Ghazieh has killed at least seven people and wounded 33, just hours before a 10-day ceasefire is due to take effect. Official media described the attack as a “massacre against civilians”, as rescue teams continue to remove rubble in search of survivors. The ministry said the toll remains preliminary and could rise as recovery operations continue.
