Lebanon’s health ministry says that Israeli strikes a day earlier, near a hospital in the southern city of Tyre, killed four people and wounded 127 others, including 39 staff from the facility, AFP reports.

The ministry statement says the wounded staff at the Jabal Amel hospital comprised “four doctors, 27 nurses, and eight [administrative] employees — four of whom are in critical condition and receiving treatment in intensive care”.

The attack “also caused severe and extensive damage across the hospital’s various floors, departments, and parking lot”, it adds.
