The Lebanese health ministry said a strike Saturday evening on Hanniyeh town in Tyre province killed seven people, six Syrians, including a child, and one Lebanese person, and wounded nine others.
In Nabatiyeh province, a strike on Deir Al-Zahrani killed seven people and wounded eight, while a separate strike on Kfartabnit killed three and wounded four, the health ministry said.
Nine paramedics were also killed in separate Israeli strikes, Lebanon’s Health Minister Rakan Nassereddine said.
Those deaths on Saturday raised the death toll among health care workers in the latest Israel-Hezbollah war to 51.
Nine hospitals have been subjected to attacks and five closed as a result, Nassereddine said.
World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus condemned the attacks on health care, saying they “are severely disrupting the delivery of services in southern Lebanon.”
This has been the second-deadliest month for health care workers in Lebanon since the UN agency began monitoring attacks on health care in the country in October 2023, he said.
Israel has accused Hezbollah of using medical facilities and ambulances for military purposes, without giving evidence.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army announced on Sunday the death in combat of a soldier in south Lebanon.
“Sergeant Moshe Yitzchak hacohen Katz, aged 22, from New Haven, Connecticut, a soldier of the 890th battalion, Paratroopers Brigade, fell during combat in southern Lebanon,” a military statement said. Five Israeli soldiers have now been killed in fighting in south Lebanon.
