Lebanon’s Health Ministry says Israeli airstrikes on different parts of Lebanon have killed 17 people, including four first responders.
The ministry says six people, including a child, were killed in an airstrike on a house in the northeastern city of Baalbek. Four others were killed in the southern village of Kharaeb and four, including a paramedic, were killed in the nearby village of Babilyeh.
Three other paramedics were killed in separate airstrikes on the villages of Khirbet Selem, Bir el-Sanasel and Deir Zahrani, the ministry says.
It does not say how many of the dead were Hezbollah members.
