At least 51 people, including two medical workers, have been killed in Israeli attacks across Lebanon over the past 24 hours, Al Jazeera reports.
The Qatar broadcaster, citing the Lebanese health ministry, said Israeli strikes had targeted two Health Authority centres in Qalawiya and Tibnin in the Bint Jbeil district.
“The Israeli enemy continues to violate international laws and humanitarian norms, adding more crimes against paramedics,” the ministry said.
A US-brokered ceasefire is now into its third week.
According to the ministry, 2,846 people have been killed across Lebanon since Mar 2, when Israeli forces launched a renewed military operation.
The outlet said 552 people have been killed since the ceasefire began on Apr 16.
The United Nations says at least 103 Lebanese medical workers have been killed and 230 injured in more than 130 strikes since Mar 2, while more than 1.2 million people have been displaced over the same period.
Ali Safiuddin, head of the Lebanese Civil Defence in Tyre, told Al Jazeera rescue workers live under constant threat.
“We ask ourselves if we’re going to survive or if we’re going to die.”
International humanitarian law reportedly requires the protection of medical workers and first responders during armed conflict, but frontline conditions in southern Lebanon remain increasingly dangerous.
War surgeon and humanitarian worker Dr Tahir Mohammed, who has worked in both Gaza and Lebanon, told the outlet he had seen similar patterns in Israeli attacks in both territories.
“We used to see our colleagues in Gaza come through the door all the time,” he said. “I’ve had colleagues, nurses, medical students killed by Israeli weapons.”
