Israeli airstrikes kill healthcare workers in southern Lebanon
Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Friday killed multiple healthcare workers, including paramedics and civil defense personnel. The attacks occurred during an ongoing ceasefire agreement that began in mid-April, which has not prevented continued Israeli military operations. Over 400 people have been killed since the ceasefire took effect, and more than 100 first responders have died since the conflict with Hezbollah began in March.
