The incident occurred as a group of paramedics were trying to assist colleagues previously injured after a series of consecutive attacks in the Nabatieh region.
According to reports, the fire directly hit healthcare personnel in the midst of an evacuation operation, resulting in the death of at least one paramedic and injuring several members of the emergency team working in the area.
In a related second incident, at least three paramedics died and six others were injured during a quadruple bombing in the town of Mayfadoun, also in southern Lebanon. The attacks reportedly affected three different rescue teams that successively responded to attend to the victims of the initial strikes.
Information indicates that the medical teams were targeted while carrying out humanitarian assistance in the midst of escalating violence in the area. These attacks on emergency personnel have raised concerns about the safety of healthcare workers in active conflicts.
The situation in southern Lebanon remains extremely volatile, with bombings affecting both civilians and rescue teams operating under high-risk conditions.
