3 paramedics killed, 6 wounded recovering airstrike victims in Tyre district, Lebanon

The World Health Organization's Lebanon office reported that three paramedics were killed and six others injured in Lebanon's Tyre district while they were recovering victims of an earlier airstrike. The incident represents a direct violation of international humanitarian law which protects medical personnel in conflict zones. The Lebanese health ministry has documented mounting casualties from Israeli strikes since Hezbollah began firing rockets in support of Iran. The WHO statement condemned the attack on medical workers and called for respect of protected status under the Geneva Conventions. The total Lebanese death toll from Israeli strikes stands at 31 killed and 149 injured from the Beirut suburbs strike alone, with fighting intensifying across the country.
