Lebanon says two paramedics among 13 killed in Israeli strikes
Thirteen people, including two paramedics, were reported killed in Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Thursday. The strikes hit a residential building in the village of Hula, situated near the border between Lebanon and Israel. Lebanese officials have condemned the attack, labeling it as a violation of the country’s sovereignty and a breach of international law.
Israel has not officially commented on the incident yet. However, Israeli military forces have previously stated that such airstrikes are in response to rocket attacks from Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The Israeli military has accused Hezbollah of using civilians as human shields, thereby putting innocent lives at risk.
The Lebanese government has called for an emergency meeting with the United Nations Security Council to address the escalating violence along the border. The country’s Prime Minister has vowed to defend Lebanon’s territorial integrity and hold Israel accountable for its actions.
Tensions between Israel and Lebanon have been high in recent weeks, with both sides engaging in cross-border attacks. The international community has called for restraint and a peaceful resolution to the conflict to prevent further loss of civilian lives.
