Three emergency workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike, according to Lebanon. Israel claims to have targeted terrorists.

 Authorities in Lebanon reported on Saturday that an Israeli airstrike in the country's south had left three people dead and two injured.

Three emergency personnel were slain in the attack while attempting to put out a fire in the town of Froun, in the Nabatieh district, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. It claimed that the attack violated international law and marked the second time in a span of 12 hours that an ambulance team had been targeted.

But according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the strike "eliminated terrorists" from the Amal movement, a Shia organization allied with Hezbollah. Two Amal movement members were slain "while performing their humanitarian and national duty in defense of Lebanon and the South," according to a statement released by the movement.

Najib Mikati, the acting prime minister of Lebanon, called for Western ambassadors and other international representatives to attend an emergency meeting on Monday at his headquarters in Beirut, characterizing the strike as "a blatant violation of international laws and a blatant aggression against human values."

According to him, the purpose of the meeting was to "press the Israeli enemy that does not care about any law and continues to ignite the fire of its crimes against Lebanon and the Lebanese" and to demand accountability. Since the start of the Gaza conflict, cross-border gunfire between Israel and Hezbollah, which is supported by Iran, has occurred virtually every day.

Launching "a squadron of suicide drones" on a newly established IDF headquarters in Ayelet, northern Israel, and a "salvo of Al-Falaq missiles" at the Kiryat Shmona settlement, Hezbollah said on Saturday that it had retaliated to the attack on Froun. Several UAVs were detected leaving Lebanese territory, according to the IDF, although no casualties had been reported.

Brigadier General Raymond Khattar, the director of Civil Defense in Lebanon, sent his "deepest condolences" to the impacted families. Additionally, he wished one of the injured men—Mohammad Amasha, according to the Civil Defense—a "speedy recovery." The man was hurt during the raid and was "transferred to Tebnin Governmental Hospital, where he is undergoing surgery," according to the Civil Defense.
