At least two paramedics have been killed in the latest Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports, citing Lebanon’s National News Agency.

The Public Health Ministry says in a statement carried by NNA that the pair were killed when an “Israeli enemy strike directly targeted an ambulance” that belonged to the Al-Risala Association in Shouhour, in Tyre.

Another paramedic was critically injured and required immediate attention in the operating room, the statement adds.

In the Al-Zahrani district, an enemy drone has launched an air raid on the town of Kawthariyat al-Ruz. Israel has also launched a raid on Maifadoun, NNA reports.
