Health workers in Lebanon describe deadly Israeli attacks on colleagues and fear more

Quick Summary:

BEIRUT—Israel’s military struck outside the gates of a hospital in southern Lebanon without warning on Friday, killing seven paramedics and forcing the facility to close, the hospital director told The Associated Press a day after one of the most deadly attacks on health workers in the weeks since fighting escalated between Israel and Hezbollah.

The ministry has said more than 100 health workers have been killed in the year since the war in Gaza began and since Israel and Hezbollah stepped up exchanges of fire along the border.

Separately on Thursday, Israeli forces struck rescue teams with the Islamic Health Committee in Beirut’s southern suburbs and the southern village of Odeissah, killing at least four.
