Lebanon said Israeli strikes on the country’s south killed 31 people on Tuesday, as Israel said it was intensifying attacks despite a fragile truce in its war with the militant group Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy.<\/p>\n
Hezbollah, meanwhile, said it faced Israeli troops entering the southern town of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, as the Israeli military said it was expanding its ground operations.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Lebanese health ministry said 31 people, including at least four children and three women, were killed in attacks and 40 wounded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fourteen were killed in Burj al-Shamali near Tyre, five in Kawthariyat al-Riz, four in Habbush, six in Maarakeh and two in Salaa, the health ministry said.<\/p>\n\n

An Agence France-Presse correspondent in the southern city of Nabatieh reported airstrikes following an unprecedented warning on the city and saw plumes of smoke rising from various locations within it.<\/p>\n
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said one of the strikes hit the vicinity of a public hospital, causing “significant damage to the hospital’s departments.”<\/p>\n
The Israeli military issued evacuation warnings for at least 50 southern and eastern towns and villages on Tuesday, including Nabatieh.<\/p>\n
An Israeli military official told AFP that troops had begun operating beyond the Israel-announced “Yellow Line” in south Lebanon, which runs six miles deep inside Lebanese territory. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
