The report states, “Israeli forces struck the Burj Shemali district, the town of Deir Mimas, the south of the capital Beirut, the Qotrani Town and the Deir Qanoun Ras Al-Ain Town in Lebanon. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, the attacks killed three health workers in the town of Qotrani and two health workers in the town of Deir Qanoun Ras Al-Ain and injured several more”.
