An overnight strike on an ambulance centre of the Hezbollah-linked Islamic Health Committee in Hannaouiyeh killed four paramedics, and a strike on Deir Qanoun en-Nahr near Tyre later on Friday killed six people including two Amal-affiliated Risala Scouts rescuers and a Syrian girl, Lebanon's Health Ministry said. The ministry called both attacks violations of international law.
Why it matters
The WHO had counted 169 attacks on health workers and facilities in Lebanon since March 2, and Israel has accused Hezbollah of using ambulances as cover.
