******** air strike ****** three medics: Lebanon PM

Three Lebanese paramedics have been ******* and two others wounded, one critically, in an ******** ******* while they were extinguishing fires in the southern town of Faroun, Lebanon’s health ministry says.

“******** forces targeted a team from the Lebanese Civil Defence as they responded to fires sparked by recent ******** airstrikes,” a ministry statement said, specifying that the strike hit a ***** truck.

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the ******** ******* as a violation of international law and announced an emergency meeting on Monday with foreign ambassadors and international organisations to address the ongoing hostilities.

“To date, because of *******’s aggression, 25 paramedics from various ambulance teams have been *******, along with two health workers, and 94 paramedics and health workers have been injured,” the health ministry statement added.

The health ministry also condemned the ******* as a “blatant strike” on an official Lebanese state apparatus, marking the second such ******* on an emergency team in less than 12 hours.

The ******** military said it was looking into the report.

It had said earlier that it had carried out a number of strikes against Hezbollah rocket launchers and infrastructure in several locations in southern Lebanon, after the group fired rockets into northern *******.

Hezbollah issued a statement, saying it launched a “squadron of missiles” in response to the Faroun *******, targeting an ******** military headquarters, causing casualties.

The intensity of fighting between Hezbollah and ******* has ratcheted up steadily, displacing tens of thousands of people on either side of the Lebanese-******** frontier.
