"The Israeli enemy strike on the city of Tyre led to an updated toll of one dead and seven wounded," the health ministry was quoted as saying by state news agency NNA.

France on Saturday condemned the rocket fire from Lebanese territory into Israel but called on Israel to display "restraint" as it launched strikes in response.

"France calls on all parties to respect the commitments made under the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024, to avoid an escalation that could have serious consequences for the security of Lebanon, Israel, and the entire region," said a foreign ministry statement.
