NNA – The Public Health Ministry's Emergency Operations Center on Thursday reported that Israeli forces targeted a gathering point of the Islamic Health Society—Civil Defense branch at southern Lebanon’s Dardghaya intersection, resulting in the deaths of four medics.

Shortly afterward, Israeli strikes hit a second society point in the town of Selaa, setting a vehicle ablaze, though medics at the scene narrowly escaped harm.

This brings the total number of medical personnel killed since the onset of the assault to 178, with 279 wounded and 246 Civil Defense vehicles targeted, the ministry stated.
