An Israeli strike hit a healthcare center in a southern Lebanese town, killing at least 12 medical staff, Lebanon’s public health ministry said Saturday.
Doctors, paramedics and nurses were among the dead in the attack in the town of Borj Qalaouiye, the ministry said.
One healthcare worker was wounded in the strike, the ministry said, adding that rescue work was ongoing to search for the missing.
The ministry said the strike followed an earlier attack on paramedics in the town of Al-Sawana, also in southern Lebanon.
CNN has reached out to the Israeli military for comment.
The deaths came after the ministry of public health said in an update on Friday at least 773 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israel began strikes on the country. Among the dead are 103 children, according to the ministry.
