Lebanon’s health ministry says that Israeli strikes have killed 26 paramedics and wounded 51 others since the conflict erupted between Israel and Hezbollah.
It comes after Lebanese authorities said an overnight Israeli strike killed 12 doctors, paramedics and nurses working at a healthcare center in the southern town of Burj Qalawiya, following another strike on the town of Sawaneh that left two paramedics affiliated with Hezbollah and its ally Amal dead.
The ministry statement also accuses Israel of repeatedly “targeting ambulance crews while they were performing rescue duties,” after the IDF accused Hezbollah of using ambulances militarily.
