Three members of the Lebanese Civil Defense have been killed and two others were wounded Saturday evening in a targeted Israeli strike on the southern town of Froun.
The Public Health Emergency Operations Center reported that the attack occurred while the Civil Defense team was combating fires caused by recent Israeli raids in Froun. One of the volunteers injured is in critical condition.
The Ministry of Public Health strongly condemned this latest aggression “that targeted an official service”, marking it as the second attack on an ambulance team within the last twelve hours.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati in a statement blasted Saturday’s attack, saying “this new aggression against Lebanon is a blatant violation of international laws… and human values”.
The caretaker ministers of Interior, Bassam Maoulaoui, and of Environment, also condemned it.
In the afternoon, two people were injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Lebanese southern town of Qabrikha. The wounded were swiftly taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
In the village of Ain Ebel, a Lebanese army unit was deployed to investigate reports of an Israeli drone crash. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Throughout the day, Israeli artillery shelling was reported across several regions in southern Lebanon, including the outskirts of Kfarchouba, Tayr Harfa, and the Labbouneh area near Naqoura. Mortar shells were also fired, further escalating the tensions.
In Khiam, flare shells sparked fires, as the situation on the ground became increasingly volatile.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for artillery strikes on Israeli positions in Raheb and Misgav, as well as rocket fire targeting Israeli troops stationed near the settlement of Manot.
