Mourners in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre attended on Thursday (May 28) the funeral of loved ones killed in an Israeli strike in the southern town of Burj al-Shamali on Tuesday (May 26).

An initial death toll released by Lebanon's health ministry on Wednesday said 14 people were killed in Burj al-Shamali, including two children and three women.

Israel's military on Wednesday (May 27) declared a new swathe of southern Lebanon as a combat zone and said residents in the area should move north, warning it would act "with great force" against Lebanese armed group Hezbollah in the zone.

The military's statement, posted on X, appeared to signal further escalation after more than 120 strikes on Tuesday hit Lebanon's south and east, despite a ceasefire announced on April 16.
