An Israeli strike on a health centre in southern Lebanon on Friday killed 12 medical workers, including doctors and nurses, Lebanon's ministry of public health says.
The strike has been condemned by the chief of the World Health Organization. "These incidents highlight the ongoing assault on Lebanon’s healthcare system, which is crucial for the populations it serves," Tedros Ghebreyesus says.
"WHO condemns this tragic loss of life and emphasises that health workers must always be protected."
The Israeli military says it's aware of reports of a strike in the Borj Qalaouiye area in southern Lebanon, and the incident is under review.

Shailok air force specialises in bombing hospitals, clinics, old folks homes, schools, nurseries - less likelihood of defence fire.
Lebanon has to accept the brutal reality that if you willy-nilly allow your territory to be used as a base to initiate and launch attacks against a neighbouring country, you SHALL be counterattacked and killed.
