Israeli strike kills 31 in Lebanon

The death toll from an Israeli air attack in Beirut’s southern suburbs has risen to 37 people, including three children and seven women.

Lebanon’s Health Minister Firass Abiad said this at a news conference on Saturday.

The strike, which wrecked two buildings in the Lebanese capital’s Dahiya district during rush hour on Friday, also injured more than 60 people.

The three children killed were aged four, six and 10, according to Abiad.
