BEIRUT/WASHINGTON: Lebanon said an Israeli strike on Thursday damaged a hospital in the country’s south, where Israel and Hezbollah have been trading fire despite a ceasefire.

The state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli aircraft “launched two strikes on the town of Tibnin near the public hospital, where significant damage was recorded”.

The health ministry circulated a video showing part of the hospital with shattered glass on the floor, blown-out ceiling panels and window panes, and other damage to what appeared to be offices.

According to the ministry, 16 hospitals have been damaged since the war erupted on March 2, while 116 emergency and health workers have been killed.
