Lebanon says Israeli strike kills six, including two rescuers and child

We earlier reported that a double strike in Tyre in southern Lebanon killed a paramedic and injured others.

The Lebanese health ministry says an Israeli strike on southern Lebanon killed six people on Friday, including two rescuers and a child, despite a fragile ceasefire in Israel’s war on Lebanon.

In a statement, the ministry said that “six people were martyred”, including two rescuers from the Risala Scouts association, one of them also working as a freelance photographer, and a Syrian girl in a strike on Deir Qanun al-Nahr village.

An earlier strike on the southern town of Hanaway on Friday also killed four rescuers from the Islamic Health Committee, the ministry said.
