Six people, including two paramedics, were killed on Friday in Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).
In the latest attacks, two paramedics were killed while carrying out their “humanitarian duty” in Deir Qanoun al-Nahr in the Tyre district, NNA reported, citing the Islamic Risala Scout Association.
The Israeli strike targeted a position belonging to the Islamic Health Authority in the town of Hanouiyeh in Tyre, also killing four other people.
The agency added that three other people were also injured in a strike targeting the Hafour area between the towns of Siddiqine and Qana.
The attack came a day after an Israeli air strike caused significant damage to a hospital in the southern town of Tebnine.
According to NNA, two people were killed and a third was injured on Thursday after an Israeli fighter jet struck near Tebnine Hospital.
At least 16 hospitals have been damaged in Israeli attacks in Lebanon since March 2, figures released by the Lebanese health ministry showed.
Official data also revealed that at least 116 people have been killed and 263 wounded in attacks targeting medics and ambulance crews during the same period.
At least 3,089 people have been killed, 9,397 injured, and more than 1.6 million displaced since the start of the Israeli assaults in March, according to Lebanese officials.
