Israeli strikes kill six Lebanese medics in 24 hours, health ministry says

The ministry said the strikes hit medics from Hezbollah-linked rescue groups and a Syrian child, despite a fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

  • On Saturday, May 23, 2026, Israeli airstrikes hit Tyre, Lebanon, causing severe damage to the nearby Hiram Hospital, including its operating rooms and medical equipment, according to the hospital's administration.
  • The Israeli military reported targeting Hezbollah infrastructure sites in Tyre to disrupt attacks, issuing evacuation warnings prior to the strikes that included a 500m radius around target buildings.
  • Hospital CEO Salman Aydibi told AFP that around 40 patients were moved to safety while 30 staff sustained minor injuries, though the facility remains operational despite damage.
  • Since March 2, Israeli strikes have impacted 147 healthcare facilities across Lebanon, killing 116 healthcare workers and injuring 263 others amid ongoing conflict despite a US-mediated ceasefire.
  • More than 3,000 people have been killed and 1.6 million displaced since the war began on March 2, as Israel maintains the right to act against 'planned, imminent or ongoing attacks' under the ceasefire terms.
