Israeli Attacks Kill 12 in Lebanon, Including Paramedic and Two Children

HeadlineMay 08, 2026

An Israeli airstrike has targeted an ambulance in southern Lebanon, killing one paramedic and leaving another wounded. The killing was one of 12 reported by Lebanon’s Health Ministry on Thursday, with two children among the dead. Meanwhile, Israel has issued forced evacuation orders to a dozen more villages in southern Lebanon. The U.N. warns over half of Lebanon’s 5.8 million people are in need of humanitarian aid, after Israeli strikes since March killed at least 2,700 people and displaced over a million from their homes.
