At least 10 firefighters were killed in an Israeli strike on the Union of Municipalities building in Bint Jbeil, Baraasheet, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. Rescue operations continue as authorities search for people trapped under the rubble.
In a statement, the ministry condemned the attack, stating, "The Israeli enemy has committed a new war crime against firefighters and paramedical personnel in southern Lebanon, demonstrating unprecedented violence and inhumanity by targeting individuals carrying out purely humanitarian and rescue missions, far removed from what is required on the battlefield."
