An Israeli air attack at around 3am on the southern Lebanese town of Shebaa killed nine people from the same family, including four children.

The director of Bint Jbeil hospital, 4km away from the border with northern Israel, told Al Jazeera that the facility shut down due to heavy Israeli bombardment.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces struck several areas in Gaza, including an air raid on Jabalia refugee camp which killed a man, his wife and their two disabled children.

Houthis target Tel Aviv: The attacks came after Yemen’s Houthis fired a missile towards Tel Aviv early on Friday morning, which Israel said it intercepted with the ‘Arrow’ air defence system.
