      <title>Israeli strikes kill six Lebanese medics in 24 hours, health ministry says</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330459427/israeli-strikes-kill-six-lebanese-medics-in-24-hours-health-ministry-says</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Six Lebanese paramedics were killed in ​two Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon in the span of 24 hours, Lebanon’s health ministry said ‌on Friday, condemning the attacks as violations of international law.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the ministry, an Israeli strike overnight Thursday into Friday in the southern Lebanese town of Hanaway killed four paramedics from the Islamic Health Association.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Friday morning, an Israeli strike killed two medics from the Al-Rissala ​Scouts Association in Deir Qanoun En-Nahr, the ministry said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the incident in Hanaway, the Israeli military said it ​had struck Hezbollah infrastructure sites where militants with the group were present.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Deir Qanoun ⁠En-Nahr, the military said, soldiers identified and struck two Hezbollah militants riding motorcycles in the area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In both incidents, the ​military said it was examining claims that “several uninvolved individuals in the area, who were not the targets of the strikes, ​were harmed”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It said it took steps to mitigate potential civilian harm in part by ordering the population in both areas to flee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Lebanese health ministry distributed a video that it said was in Deir Qanoun En-Nahr, showing two men in yellow vests on the side of a ​road tending to someone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When an ambulance approaches the two men, a flash is seen, and a loud boom ​goes off. The same men are then seen lying on the floor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reuters was able to confirm the location of the video as ‌the western ⁠edge of Deir Qanoun En-Nahr from the buildings, trees and road layout, which matched archive imagery of the area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The health ministry said that in total, six people were killed in Deir Qanoun En-Nahr, including the two medics and a Syrian child.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The town was hit by an airstrike earlier this week that killed 14 people, the deadliest single strike since a tenuous ceasefire ​was announced last month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More than ​3,100 people have been killed ⁠in Lebanon since March 2, when Lebanese armed group Hezbollah fired at Israel in the opening salvos of a new war.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The dead include 123 medics, as well as more than ​210 children and nearly 300 women, according to statistics shared by the health ministry on ​Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;International humanitarian law ⁠affords protection to frontline responders, healthcare workers and civilian infrastructure, including healthcare centres.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Several hospitals in southern Lebanon have been damaged or entirely put out of service by Israeli strikes, according to the World Health Organisation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Thursday, an Israeli strike near the ⁠Tebnine Hospital ​in southern Lebanon damaged all three floors of the building, including the ​emergency room, intensive care unit, surgical ward, and ambulances parked outside, according to the health ministry.&lt;/p&gt;
