A team of paramedics from the Islamic Health Authority was directly targeted by an Israeli air strike in a "double-tap" strike while inspecting the site of a previous strike on the Harouf–Toul road in southern Lebanon on May 7. The attack injured four paramedics and damaged an ambulance vehicle.
Double-tap strikes are a pattern Israel has routinely used since the beginning of its war on Gaza, monitors say, with the second strike intended to kill first responders and rescue workers arriving at the scene. Since the start of intensified Israeli attacks on Lebanon on 2 March 2026, at least 60 healthcare workers and Red Crescent volunteers have been killed, with hundreds more injured
