ANKARA (AA) – At least six people were killed on Friday in an Israeli airstrike on a house in southern Lebanon, state-run media reported.

According to the National News Agency, four paramedics were killed by Israeli shelling near Marjayoun Governmental Hospital in southern Lebanon.

Another Israeli attack targeting the town of Khirbet Selm in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon, near the Israeli border, killed two more people, according to the news agency.

In a separate incident, the news agency reported casualties in an Israeli attack targeting a site near a Lebanese army center in the town of Al-Bayada, also in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah and Israel have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the start last year of Israel's war on Gaza, which has killed nearly 41,800 people, most of them women and children, following an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas last October.

In Israeli attacks in Lebanon, at least 1,947 people have since been killed, nearly 9,400 injured, and 1.2 million others displaced, according to Lebanese authorities.

The international community has warned that Israeli attacks in Lebanon could escalate the Gaza conflict into a wider regional war.
