Israeli warplanes struck and destroyed a drug depot in the Bint Jbeil Hospital in southern Lebanon.

 

The attack came a day after at least nine first aid workers were killed by Israeli strikes on the south and, according to the Lebanese health ministry, some 51 have been killed since the war began.

In tandem, Israeli warplanes struck and destroyed a drug depot in the Bint Jbeil Hospital in southern Lebanon.

Since 2 March, Israeli airstrikes on Beirut and across Lebanon and a ground invasion of the south of the country have killed nearly 1,200 and wounded nearly 3,000, including tens of women and children.

"A paramedic and a wounded person who was with him were killed in an Israeli raid on an ambulance in the town of Bint Jbeil," Islamic Health Committee spokesperson Mahmoud Karaki told AFP.

An image shared by Karaki showed a destroyed ambulance, set ablaze.

On Saturday, Israeli strikes killed at least nine paramedics across the south, alongside several other deadly bombings, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Israeli warplanes also broke the sound barrier over Beirut, causing panic.

Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli occupation army announced the death of a fifth soldier since the start of the war in Lebanon.

Hezbollah, meanwhile, claimed responsibility for a series of attacks on Israeli troops and positions in southern Lebanon and northern Israel.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported several Israeli strikes across the south on Sunday.
