Doha: The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced Saturday that two paramedics were killed, and four others were injured after Israeli warplanes launched offensive raids in southern Lebanon.

According to Qatar News Agency, a paramedic was killed in Burj Rahal early this morning after he was directly targeted by Israeli shelling while assisting an injured person. Another paramedic was killed, and four others were injured during an Israeli airstrike on a group of paramedics performing their duties in Kfartabnit.

Lebanon has been under Israeli offensive for more than a year, with intensified actions since last September, resulting in thousands of casualties and displacing over a million people.
