Hezbollah, meanwhile, said it had targeted Israeli occupation troops inside Lebanon, but did not claim any attacks on Israeli territory.
"An Israeli enemy raid on the city of Tyre, near the Red Cross centre, resulted in 5 martyrs and 8 wounded, four of whom were Red Cross paramedics," the Lebanese health ministry said in a statement.
It later reported a strike on Marwanieh, also in the south, killed two people, including a child, and wounded 10.
An earlier dawn strike on Zifta in the Nabatieh district killed seven people, "including a Syrian child and a woman", according to the ministry.
In Tyre, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that "an enemy airstrike targeted a car with a missile... near the Lebanese Red Cross building".
An AFP photographer saw a car engulfed in flames on a coastal road as residents gathered and an ambulance and paramedics rushed to the scene.
Reporting airstrikes from early morning, the NNA said Israeli raids hit more than a dozen locations in the south.
A strike wounded 10 staff members of a hospital in the Lebanese city of Tyre on Thursday, the facility's director told AFP, as Israeli raids continued in the country's south.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported that Israeli strikes on Thursday targeted several areas in southern Lebanon and a village in the Baalbek region in the east, far from the Israeli border.
All three hospitals in the historic city of Tyre have been damaged by strikes since the start of the escalating Israeli strikes in the country in early March.
"An area located around 15 metres (50 feet) from the hospital was targeted, and 10 members of the medical and administrative staff were wounded," said Dr Salman Aydibi, who runs Hiram hospital.
He said the strike shattered windows and damaged cars parked in front of the facility.
"This is the sixth time that the area of the hospital has been targeted by Israeli raids since the start of the war," he said.
A Lebanese culture ministry official said Israeli bombardment the previous day had also damaged a UNESCO World Heritage site in Tyre, where AFP correspondents saw dust and debris.
On Monday, Hezbollah claimed a series of attacks on Israeli troops who have invaded south Lebanon.
Israel's military intercepted three projectiles fired from Lebanon, an AFP correspondent near the border reported, as Israel's military said the munitions had targeted its forces operating in Lebanon's south.
Lebanon says Israeli strikes have killed more than 3,600 people since 2 March.
