Israel kills 8 medics in Lebanon and at least 50 people in Beit Lahiya, Gaza

Israel kills 8 medics in Lebanon as Hezbollah mourns slain spokesman

Israel continues to pound Lebanon, killing eight more paramedics, after assassinating Hezbollah’s top media relations officer, Mohammad Afif, in an air raid on central Beirut.
Israeli forces also bombed Gaza’s “safe-zone” killing four people, including two children, as Pope Francis called for an investigation into allegations of genocide.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 43,846 Palestinians and wounded 103,740 since October 7, 2023. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.
In Lebanon, at least 3,481 people have been killed and 14,786 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began.

Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya kills two, strands residents

Al Jazeera’s correspondent reports that two people were killed and others wounded when the Israeli army hit a group of displaced people in the northern Gaza Strip city.

The besieged people there are appealing for ambulances to be allowed to reach the area after the bombing, our correspondent says.

This is the same scene that played out yesterday, when the Israeli army attacked a multistorey building killing at least 50 people. In the aftermath of the bombing, the civil defence said it was unable to aid the victims of the attack due to the presence of Israeli troops.
