In Lebanon, an Israeli strike on a health centre has killed 12 medical workers in the southern part of the city. The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health said, the attack occurred in the village of Burj Qalaouiyah in the Bint Jbeil District, and killed doctors, paramedics and nurses who were on duty. Lebanon’s Health Ministry said, this was the second attack on the health sector within hours, after another Israeli strike on the southern village of Souaneh killed two paramedics when it hit a paramedic centre.
The ministry condemned the attack and denounced what it called continued violence against health workers.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has asserted that his organisation is prepared for a long confrontation with Israel, as Israeli authorities warned that Lebanon would face an increasing price through extensive damage to its national infrastructure.
In his second televised address since the hostilities began, Qassem described the situation as an existential battle. Earlier, the Israeli military confirmed it had destroyed a bridge over the Litani River yesterday, which connects the towns of Zrarieh and Tayr Falsay.
