At least 12 healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and paramedics, were killed after an Israeli airstrike hit a primary health centre in Burj Qalaouiyah, a village in southern Lebanon. Lebanese health officials said the medics were on duty when the strike occurred during escalating clashes between Israel and Hezbollah along the border. The World Health Organization condemned the attack, stressing that medical facilities and personnel are protected under international humanitarian law. Lebanese authorities accused Israel of targeting civilian infrastructure, while Israel alleged Hezbollah operates from within civilian areas. The ongoing conflict has intensified in recent weeks, causing heavy casualties and displacement across southern Lebanon. (PC: AFP)
