Israeli attacks kill several in Lebanon, with health workers targeted
More than 400 people have been killed by Israeli fire since a ceasefire took effect in mid-April. Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon on Friday killed at least 11 people in the Tyre district, including healthcare workers. In Deir Qanoun en-Nahr, six people were confirmed dead, including two paramedics and a child. In Hannaouiyah, four paramedics were killed, and another man died in Nabatieh. Additional air raids targeted villages in the Tyre district. Israel says it will continue targeting Hezbollah, while Lebanon rejects claims that health facilities are used to conceal weapons. Lebanon reports 116 healthcare workers killed, 16 hospitals damaged, and 147 ambulances attacked since early March. Israeli attacks have killed at least 2,896 people, injured more than 8,824, and displaced more than 1.6 million people.
"More than 400 people have been killed by Israeli fire since the deal came into force in mid-April. Israeli attacks have killed at least 11 people in southern Lebanon, including several healthcare workers. The attacks occurred on Friday in the Tyre district. They are the latest in a long line, questioning the durability of the shaky United States-mediated ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon."
"Six people were confirmed dead in the municipality of Deir Qanoun en-Nahr in an Israeli attack, including two paramedics and a child. In a separate attack, about 12km (7 miles) away in the town of Hannaouiyah, four paramedics were killed. An attack in the southern city of Nabatieh killed another man. Israel also carried out several other air raids in southern Lebanon on Friday, according to the state-run National News Agency."
"The Israeli military has repeatedly attacked health facilities and medical teams in Lebanon, accusing Hezbollah of using them to conceal weapons and fighters. The Lebanese government rejects that claim. It reports that since the latest escalation between Israel and Hezbollah in early March, 116 healthcare workers have been killed, 16 hospitals have been damaged, and 147 ambulances have been attacked. Health Minister Rakan Nassereddine recently condemned the systematic targeted destruction of the health sector."
"Israel returned to war with Iran-backed Hezbollah as the Lebanese-based armed group declared its support for Tehran at the beginning of March. Israeli attacks since have killed at least 2,896 people in Lebanon, injured more than 8,824, and displaced more than 1.6 million about one-fifth of the country's population."
