Rights groups are investigating Israel’s repeated killing of medical staff in Lebanon as a potential war crime, after 10 paramedics were killed in air strikes on Wednesday. The paramedics were among 16 civilians killed in three attacks that day, marking the highest civilian death toll for one day since the cross-border conflict between Hezbollah and Israel began about six months ago. Seven of the 10 paramedics were killed in Habariyeh when the Israeli army struck a centre belonging to the Lebanese Ambulance Association.
