More people have been killed in Lebanon as Israel continues its bombardment of Lebanon, while also continues its assault on the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

Israeli strikes have killed 92 people in Lebanon over the past 24 hours, the country's health ministry said late Thursday.

The ministry said in a series of statements that Israeli raids killed 40 people in towns and villages in the south, 48 in two eastern regions and four in the east of central Mount Lebanon Governorate. Overall it said 153 people were injured.

Earlier on Thursday, an Israeli air strike on Beirut's southern suburbs targeted a Hezbollah commander, a source close to the group said, as Israel's army announced it was carrying out precision raids in the Lebanese capital.

"An Israeli strike targeted a Hezbollah commander," the security source said, requesting anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to the media. It is the fourth such attack targeting Hezbollah commanders in the area in a week.

Meanwhile in Gaza, Israeli forces killed at least 11 people, including women and children, after it bombed the al-Falouja School in the Jabalia refugee camp.
