Civil defense rescuer killed in Israeli strike on Rashaya-Kfarshouba road

An Israeli strike on south Lebanon killed a member of the civil defense, the rescue organization said Friday, a day after another strike killed a rescuer from the Hezbollah-affiliated Islamic Health Committee.

In a statement, the civil defense said their rescuer was killed "as a result of an Israeli strike that targeted him" on the road between Rashaya and Kfarshouba, despite the truce in effect.

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday it had "verified 152 attacks on healthcare that resulted in 103 deaths and 241 injuries" in Lebanon since the war began on March 2.

The Israeli army ordered Friday the residents of Nmayriyi, Tayrfelsay, Hallousieh, Hallousieh al-Fawqa, Abbasieh, Toura and Maarakeh in south Lebanon to evacuate ahead of imminent strikes.

At least 12 people were killed Thursday, including two children and the paramedic, in a series of Israeli airstrikes.

In separate statements, the ministry of health reported 11 people killed, two of them children, in strikes on three different villages in the Nabatieh district. Another strike in Marajayoun district killed the paramedic and wounded another.

On Friday, strikes targeted Deir Aames, Nmayriyi, Bouyout al-Siyyad and Jmayjmeh, and Israeli artillery shelled al-Mansouri, Majdalzoun and Bouyout al-Siyyad.
