Lebanon Says Israeli Strikes Killed Six Medics as Southern Front Remains Volatile
Lebanon’s health ministry said six paramedics were killed in two Israeli strikes over 24 hours, Reuters reported.
BEIRUT | Lebanon’s health ministry said six paramedics were killed in Israeli strikes over a 24-hour period, adding new pressure to the war’s civilian-protection and medical-worker questions.
Reuters reported that two Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed six Lebanese paramedics, with the health ministry condemning the attacks as violations of international law. Israel has previously said it targets Hezbollah-linked positions and has accused militants of using civilian areas.
The report sits inside a wider conflict in which medical personnel, rescue teams and civilians face repeated risk in southern Lebanon.
Because casualty and responsibility claims in the conflict are contested and high-risk, the careful frame is attribution: Lebanon’s health ministry said, Reuters reported and Israeli officials have separately described their military objectives.
