Israeli air strike kills seven health workers in Beirut

A recent Israeli air strike on Beirut’s Bashoura district earlier on Thursday killed seven health and rescue workers, according to a medical organisation.

The strike hit an apartment within a multi-story building housing the Health Society, a group of civilian first responders.

This attack, the second in 24 hours on the Health Society, marks the closest strike to central Beirut, near UN and government offices.

No prior warning was issued before the raid, and the Israeli military has yet to comment on the attack.
