Israeli strikes on Sour in southern Lebanon killed at least 13 people just before the 10-day cease-fire with Israel took effect at midnight, a city official said on Friday.

The official, who asked not to be identified, said another 35 people were injured, and emergency workers were still searching the rubble for another "15 missing."

The strikes destroyed six residential buildings, and came just minutes before midnight, an AFP correspondent said.
