Lebanon says 13 dead in Israeli strike on Palestinian camp in south

• An ‘Israeli’ strike on the Ain al-Helweh Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon killed at least 13 people, according to an updated toll from the Lebanese Health Ministry.
• The ‘Israeli’ military claimed the strike targeted a Hamas training compound in the area.

Lebanon said an ‘Israeli’ strike on a Palestinian refugee camp in the country's south killed at least 13 people on Tuesday in an updated toll, as ‘Israel’ claimed it struck a Hamas compound.

‘Israel’ has kept up strikes on Lebanon despite a ceasefire agreed last November that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah -- an ally of Hamas -- including two months of full-blown war.

In an updated toll, the health ministry reported "13 dead and a number of others wounded" in the strike in the Ain al-Helweh refugee camp on the outskirts of the city of Sidon, adding that "ambulances are still transporting more wounded to nearby hospitals".

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said the strike targeted a car near the Khalid bin al-Walid mosque and that "subsequently it was reported that the raid also targeted" the mosque itself and a centre of the same name.

The ‘Israeli’ military claimed in a statement that it "struck terrorists who operated in a Hamas training compound in the Ain al-Helweh area in southern Lebanon", further claiming that it was "operating against Hamas's establishment in Lebanon".

Earlier on Tuesday, Lebanon said ‘Israeli’ strikes on cars elsewhere in the country's south killed two people.
