An Israeli strike in southern Lebanon killed five people, including three rescuers who responded to the initial attack, and wounded two Lebanese soldiers, according to Lebanon's health ministry and civil defense.

More than 2,500 people have died in Israeli strikes across Lebanon since March 2, including over 100 medics.
