ISRAEL – Two paramedics were injured by shrapnel while responding to a prior Israeli strike in southern Lebanon, the Lebanese Red Cross posted on X Wednesday.

The medics arrived in the town of Jouaiyya in coordination with UNIFIL, the United Nations’ peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon, to respond to a previous Israeli strike. The area was then targeted again, injuring the paramedics, according to the Lebanese Red Cross. The aid group said the paramedics were taken to the hospital and that their condition “is not worrisome.”

The peacekeeping force “informs the IDF of logistic and humanitarian movements in the area of operations to deconflict activities and mitigate risks. However, we do not receive assurances from the IDF regarding the safety of the convoys,” said Andrea Tenenti, UNIFIL’s spokesperson, without commenting on the specific incident. (CNN)…[+]
