Lebanon says Israeli strike kills hospital chief, 6 colleagues

Lebanon’s health ministry says an Israeli airstrike earlier today killed the director of Dar al-Amal hospital in the east of the country near Baalbek and six of his colleagues.

A ministry statement announces the “loss of Dr Ali Rakan Allam, director of Dar al-Amal University Hospital, and six colleagues in a cowardly Israeli attack which targeted his residence near the hospital.” It also denounces “continual Israeli aggression against medical staff and facilities.”
