Five Lebanese siblings, three of whom were deaf and mute, and two Palestinian journalists who were brother and sister were among the scores of people killed by Israeli strikes on Lebanon and Gaza in the previous 24 hours, local authorities and media reported on Saturday.
At least 40 people were killed in strikes on Lebanon including seven in the port city of Tyre late on Friday, the health ministry said.
Youssef Jundi, a Tyre resident, told the Associated Press that his longtime neighbour and friend, Ghazwa Dabouk, was among those killed. Dabouk’s sisters Elissar, Rabab and Fidaa, who were deaf and mute, were also killed in the airstrike, together with Dabouk’s brother Ali, who had autism.
The health ministry said two children were among the dead. Rescue operations were ongoing and other body parts retrieved in the aftermath of the attack would undergo DNA testing to identify them, the ministry added.
The Israeli military has previously ordered swathes of the city to evacuate but there were no orders published by the Israeli military spokesperson on social media platform X before Friday’s strikes.
Strikes in nearby towns on Saturday killed 13 people, including seven medics from rescue groups affiliated to Hezbollah and its ally Amal, the health ministry said. Israel has previously threatened to target medics who treat Hezbollah members and killed scores of health workers across Lebanon including in attacks on medical centres.
Rights experts say affiliations to groups such as Hezbollah do not affect their protected status.
At least 20 more people were killed in Israeli strikes on Saturday across the eastern plains around the historic city of Baalbek, the health ministry said.
The Israeli military claimed it had struck Hezbollah infrastructure sites in the areas of Tyre and Baalbek, including fighters, “operational apartments” and weapons stores.
On Saturday, Hezbollah claimed rocket as well as missile fire at Israel’s north. The group said its fighters targeted Israeli troops and military sites including a base and an area north of Haifa.
Meanwhile in Gaza two journalist siblings, Ahmad Abu Sakhil and Zahra Abu Sakhil, were killed together with their father, Muhammad, and three others when Israeli warplanes bombed a school sheltering displaced people in Gaza City, Al Jazeera reported.
They were among at least 40 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza late Friday and into Saturday, local authorities said, as Israel continues to pummel the already devastated territory, particularly the north, which it has put under total siege and which food experts this week warned faces imminent famine.
Gaza’s media office said their deaths raised the number of journalists killed by Israeli fire to 188 since 7 October 2023. A day earlier, the local radio journalist Khaled Abu Zir was killed, according to Palestinian media reports.
Others killed in Israeli attacks included two Palestinians who had been sheltering in the grounds of al-Aqsa hospital in Deir el-Balah and three men who had been released from Israeli detention moments before, Al Jazeera and Palestinian media reported, as well as children who were reportedly targeted by an Israeli airstrike as they tried to collect water in Jabalia, northern Gaza.

It was not possible to verify the reports independently as Israel does not allow foreign journalists into Gaza.
Israel’s military did not immediately respond on Saturday to a request for comment on strikes on areas where displaced people were sheltering, according to Reuters. It claims Hamas fighters hide among the civilian population and it hits them when it sees them. Hamas denies hiding among civilians.
Early on Sunday the Israeli military claimed in a post on X it had “eliminated dozens of terrorists and destroyed terrorist infrastructures and a warehouse of weapons” in Jabalia, without providing any evidence.
A UN report this week said that nearly 70% of the people killed in the war in Gaza have been women and children.
At least 43,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza, with thousands more believed to be buried under the rubble and tens of thousands more wounded.
