Airstrikes also killed one person in the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa and three others in the towns of Sir el Gharbiyeh and Choukine.

NNA said Israeli warplanes struck a center of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Tyre city, injuring one person, who was later pronounced dead. Several Red Cross vehicles were damaged in the attack.
