An 'Israeli' strike on a primary healthcare centre in southern Lebanon killed at least 12 medical personnel, the Lebanese health ministry said Saturday as the war between 'Israel' and Hezbollah rages on.

In a statement, the ministry said it "mourns the healthcare workers in Burj Qalawiya who were killed in an 'Israeli' airstrike that targeted the town's primary healthcare centre", adding that "12 doctors, paramedics and nurses on duty at the centre were killed, and one healthcare worker was injured" while rescue operations were still ongoing.

The ministry said the attack was "the second against the health sector in a few hours", following a strike on Sawaneh that killed two paramedics.
