Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon on Friday (May 22, 2026) killed 10 people, including six paramedics and a Syrian girl, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said, the latest in near-daily attacks from both sides that have not stopped despite the fragile, U.S.-brokered ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war.
The first strike hit the village of Hanouiyeh, killing four paramedics working for Hezbollah’s Islamic Health Association and wounding two others including one paramedic, the Ministry said.
Another strike on Friday morning (May 22, 2026) on the village of Deir Qanoun al Nahr in the coastal Tyre province killed six people, including a Syrian child and two paramedics from the Al-Rissala Scouts Association, a paramedic group affiliated with Hezbollah’s ally, the Amal movement, the Ministry said.
An additional six people were injured, including three paramedics and a Syrian woman.
The Health Ministry said the two attacks “violated” international law.
