The Lebanese health ministry has said Israeli strikes have killed eight people, including civil defence rescuers, and wounded two soldiers in the country’s south despite an ongoing ceasefire.
“The Israeli enemy’s air raid on the town of Majdal Zoun has, in a preliminary toll, killed five martyrs,” the ministry said, adding that three paramedics were trapped under rubble while on a rescue mission.
Another two people were killed in Jebchit, while one person died in a strike on Jwaya that injured 15 others, including five children.
Lebanon’s army reported two of its troops were wounded “as a result of a hostile Israeli targeting of an army patrol,” marking the first such report since the truce began.
