An Israeli strike hit a car in the centre of Sidon, killing both people inside and setting nearby cars ablaze, according to AFP, local media and Lebanon's National News Agency.

Why it matters

Sidon had been spared much of the bombing in the south and was sheltering displaced families from areas under Israeli evacuation orders.
