Several killed in Israel after rockets fired from Lebanon as US envoys attend talks on ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza.
At least six health workers have been killed in Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon as Israel has bombarded areas around the ancient eastern Lebanese city of Baalbek for a second day after issuing forced evacuation orders.
“Enemy aircraft launched four strikes on the village of Douris and the surroundings of the city of Baalbek,” Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported on Thursday.
Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said the six medics were killed and four others were wounded in multiple Israeli attacks. It said Israeli forces hit a gathering point for civil defence workers, killing four medics. Two other medics were killed in two more separate incidents.
There was another attack in the town of Salaa, which destroyed an ambulance, but the paramedic operating it “miraculously survived”, it said.
“The international community’s silence regarding this brutality is unjustified at a time when voices must be raised to restore humanitarian laws and put an end to the machine of brutality that continues to kill front-line personnel,” the ministry said in a statement carried by the NNA.
