Lebanon says two paramedics among 13 killed in Israeli strikes
Israeli air strikes killed at least 13 people in southern Lebanon as fighting continues amid a stalled ceasefire. Lebanon's Civil Defence paramedics were among the dead in Nabatieh, with multiple other attacks reported across southern Lebanon and northern Israel. A Washington meeting to seek a path to end the war was scheduled for later in the week.
Why It Matters
The fighting has produced sustained civilian and emergency-service casualties and continues to challenge diplomatic efforts to end the war.
