4 paramedics wounded as Israel bombs ambulance in south Lebanon

Four paramedics were wounded when an Israeli drone bombed an ambulance for the Amal Movement-affiliated Islamic Risala Scout Association on the outskirts of the south Lebanon town of Tayr Harfa.

The National News Agency said the injuries ranged from light to moderate.

TV networks said the paramedics were trying to evacuate the bodies of two Hezbollah fighters killed on a motorbike by Israeli fire as well as people who were wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a house.

Israeli reports meanwhile said that an Iron Dome missile was fired at a suspicious target over the border with Lebanon. Lebanese reports said no rockets were fired from Lebanon.

Israeli artillery had in the morning shelled the outskirts of the southern towns of Marwahin, Dhayra, Talbsin, Alma al-Shaab, Naqoua and al-Labbouneh.

Overnight, Hezbollah said that it targeted Israeli troops inside a house in the Metulla settlement, inflicting “certain casualties,” in response to “the killing of a number of civilians over the past days.”
