Israeli strikes killed seven people and wounded others in the town of Abbasiya in Tyre, southern Lebanon, on Thursday, the National News Agency reported.
The air strikes targeted several villages in southern Lebanon, where Israel attacked key bridges and infrastructure, largely cutting the area off from the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot also condemned Israel's "massive strikes" on Lebanon, stating that the country must be included in a ceasefire agreement.
