Beirut, Apr 13: A paramedic was killed in an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon, the Lebanese Red Cross said, amid escalating tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border.
According to the organisation, the paramedic was on duty when the strike hit, raising fresh concerns over the safety of medical and emergency personnel operating in conflict zones.
The incident comes as hostilities between Israel and armed groups in Lebanon continue to intensify, with cross-border exchanges of fire reported in recent days.
Officials warned that attacks affecting humanitarian workers could further aggravate the situation, potentially violating international norms that protect medical staff during armed conflicts.
The development has drawn attention from international observers, who have urged restraint and called for adherence to humanitarian law to prevent further civilian casualties.
