Lebanon’s health ministry has said 10 people, including three emergency workers, were killed by Israeli strikes on south Lebanon today, as state media reported raids on more than a dozen locations, according to AFP.

The ministry said three deadly strikes hit locations in the Nabatiyeh district, with the dead including a member of the Lebanese civil defence and two paramedics from the Islamic Health Committee, decrying what it said was Israel’s “systematic” targeting of emergency workers.
