Lebanon says two paramedics among 10 killed in Israeli strikes

At least 10 people, including two paramedics from the Lebanese Civil Defense, were killed in Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon. The strikes occurred overnight in Kfar Dounine, where six people died, and in Nabatieh, where two paramedics were killed while responding to an earlier attack. Lebanon's health ministry accused Israel of deliberately targeting the paramedics, calling it a violation of international humanitarian law. The Lebanese President expressed regret and stated that Israeli aggression hinders efforts to restore calm. The health ministry reported that 108 emergency medical workers have been killed and over 140 Israeli attacks have targeted ambulances and medical facilities since the conflict began. The Israeli military stated it is investigating the reports.

Israeli attacks kill at least four in southern Lebanon

Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon have resulted in at least four deaths and eight injuries, according to Lebanese media reports. The attacks, which violate an existing ceasefire, occurred after Israel issued forced displacement warnings for nine towns in southern and eastern Lebanon, citing Hezbollah infrastructure. Among the casualties were two medics injured while responding to an earlier strike. The Israeli military stated that a soldier was killed by a Hezbollah drone near the border, and three other soldiers were injured by a booby-trap drone. These incidents are part of ongoing exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.
