Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon kill 10 people, including six paramedics and a child, according to Lebanon’s health ministry and officials cited by multiple outlets. The ministry says the deaths occur over roughly a 24-hour period and includes paramedics and a Syrian girl. Lebanon’s health ministry condemns the strikes, saying they violate international law, while Israel says it targets Hezbollah infrastructure and militants. Further strikes are reported after the initial attacks, with additional blasts heard in the southern city of Tyre and smoke reported rising from areas hit. In the aftermath of at least one strike, residents are reportedly urged to leave using loudspeakers, and officials carry out evacuations in the affected neighbourhoods. The reports also note mounting pressure on a US-brokered ceasefire, as the strikes continue into the night and beyond. The accounts rely on statements from Lebanon’s health ministry and other officials, alongside Israel’s stated rationale for the strikes.
