Israeli 'double-tap' airstrike kills medics, toddler and civilians in southern Lebanon

Sunday, 24 May 2026, 06:07 · 1 min read

Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed three paramedics and four other civilians, including a two-year-old girl, in what witnesses and video evidence describe as a 'double-tap' strike — a tactic in which a second strike hits rescuers responding to an initial attack. Funerals were held Friday for the medics, whose deaths have drawn renewed attention to repeated Israeli targeting of emergency and health workers in Lebanon. The Israeli military has previously defended such strikes by alleging that Hezbollah uses medical personnel and facilities as cover for weapons and fighters.
