TYRE: A strike wounded 10 staff members of a hospital in the Lebanese city of Tyre on Thursday, the facility’s director said, as Israeli raids continued in the country’s south.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that Israeli strikes on Thursday targeted several areas in southern Lebanon and a village in the Baalbek region in the east, far from the Israeli border.
All three hospitals in the historic city of Tyre have been damaged by strikes since the start of the latest war between Hezbollah and Israel in early March.
“An area located around 15 metres (50 feet) from the hospital was targeted, and 10 members of the medical and administrative staff were wounded,” said Dr Salman Aydibi, who runs Hiram hospital.
