Lebanon’s health ministry said two people were killed in an Israeli strike on the country’s south, where Hezbollah has been trading near-daily fire with Israel since the start of the Gaza conflict in October, AFP reports.

“The enemy raid that took place near the (Mais Al-Jabal) town’s cemetery killed two people,” Lebanon’s Health Ministry said in a statement.

“One of the two martyrs who fell in the Mais Al-Jabal raid this morning was a Risala Scouts paramedic,” Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said.

Ali Abbas, a rescue worker from the Risala Scouts which is affiliated with Hezbollah ally the Amal movement, told AFP that the paramedic had travelled by motorcycle with another person to inspect the site of an earlier strike.

He went “to see if there were civilians or people (in the area)… and the second strike happened immediately,” Abbas said.
