Israeli strikes kill 3 paramedics, wound 2 army soldiers in south Lebanon
Two paramedics were killed on Wednesday in an Israeli strike on the country's south, with at least 130 emergency and health workers now killed since the Israel-Hezbollah war began in March.
A ministry statement said that "the Israeli enemy directly targeted an ambulance belonging to the Risala Scouts Association", which is affiliated with Hezbollah ally the Amal movement, adding that "this resulted in the martyrdom of two paramedics and left a third with highly critical injuries."
The ministry circulated pictures of a badly damaged ambulance, with medical masks spilling out of the vehicle and scattered on the road.
Two other paramedics were wounded Wednesday in strikes on Zrarieh that killed one person and wounded another.
A strike on Arab Salim earlier in the day had also killed a rescuer from the Amal-affiliated Risala Scout Association, the National News Agency said.
The Lebanese army meanwhile said a strike targeted one of its vehicles on the Deir Zahrani-Nabatieh road, wounding a soldier and an officer.
"An Israeli enemy drone targeted an army vehicle on the Deir Zahrani-Nabatieh road, wounding an officer and a soldier," an army statement said, decrying "the deliberate targeting of army personnel, vehicles and positions".
