Hospitals and health workers under fire in south Lebanon

All three hospitals in the historic city of Tyre have been damaged by strikes since the start of the latest war in early March.

A strike wounded 10 staff members of the Hiram hospital in the Lebanese city of Tyre on Thursday.

The strike shattered windows and damaged cars parked in front of the facility.

"This is the sixth time that the area of the hospital has been targeted by Israeli raids since the start of the war," he said.

On Tuesday, the Israeli military told the entire city of Tyre to evacuate, and an AFP correspondent witnessed residents fleeing and heavy traffic heading north.

Lebanon's health ministry said late last month that an Israeli strike in the vicinity of Hiram hospital wounded 13 staffers.

The following day, an Israeli strike near Tyre's Jabal Amel hospital killed four people and wounded 127 others, including 39 staffers, the health ministry said.

The Lebanese Italian hospital in Tyre was also damaged by an Israeli attack in April.

The health ministry says 17 hospitals have been damaged in the war, with three forced to close, and 132 rescuers and medical personnel have been killed.
