An Israeli strike hit a building in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre on Friday after an evacuation warning, state media reported, despite an extension in the truce between Israel and Hezbollah.

Israel's military had called on residents of several buildings in Tyre to immediately evacuate ahead of planned strikes in the area.

"Urgent warning to residents of Lebanon, especially to residents of the city of Tyre... you are located near Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure against which the IDF is preparing to operate," the military's Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee said on X.

"We urge you to immediately distance yourselves from these buildings and the surrounding structures, and move at least 300 meters away from them," the post said, alongside a map identifying the sites.

An Israeli strike on Harouf in south Lebanon killed three paramedics from the Hezbollah-linked Islamic Health Committee on Friday, the Lebanese health ministry said.
