Lebanon says Israeli weekend strike near Sidon killed 45

Lebanon said Monday that an Israeli strike a day earlier near the southern city of Sidon killed 45 people, raising an earlier toll.

In a statement, the health ministry announced "45 dead and 70 wounded in an updated toll for the Israeli enemy attack on Ain al-Delb" on Sunday, while the official National News Agency said the strike targeted a building which completely collapsed.

The ministry also said that an Israeli strike in south Lebanon killed six paramedics from Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization.
