Israel kills four, injures paramedics in strike on south Lebanon emergency response centre

Four people were killed early on Friday in an Israeli air strike targeting an emergency response centre in the southern Lebanese town of Hanouiyeh, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).

An Israeli warplane targeted a position belonging to the Islamic Health Authority in the town, killing four people and injuring two paramedics.

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 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.
