Israeli strikes kill eight people south of Beirut: Lebanon health ministry

Israeli strikes targeting cars on a highway south of Beirut on Wednesday killed eight people, including two children, Lebanon's health ministry said, in the latest attacks despite a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war.

In a statement, the ministry said "the three raids carried out by the Israeli enemy on the Saida-South coastal highway - specifically in Barja, Jiyeh and Saadiyat - resulted in 8 martyrs, including two children".
