2 medics killed as Israeli jets strike ambulance center in southern Lebanon
BEIRUT (AA) – Two medics were killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon on Thursday.
Israeli fighter jets struck an ambulance service center in the town of Hanine, leaving two medics dead, the Islamic Health Society (Hayaa) said in a statement.
An ambulance was destroyed in the attack.
Tensions have escalated along Lebanon’s border with Israel since the Israeli army launched a deadly military offensive on the Gaza Strip, amid an exchange of cross-border fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces.
Over 190 people have been killed, including at least 30 civilians, since the cross-border clashes first erupted in October, according to figures released by Hezbollah and the Lebanese media.
