Lloyd Austin met with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in Washington and expressed concern about civilian deaths and the deepening “catastrophe” in Gaza.
An Israeli strike on a paramedic center in Lebanon’s south killed seven members of a local emergency service, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported early Wednesday. The strike injured four civilians and leveled the emergency service center of the Lebanese Ambulance Association in the southern town of Hebbariyeh. The building destroyed was affiliated with al-Jamaa al-Islamiya, a small political party that for a decade had largely been inactive but saw a resurgence after Oct. 7.
The surgical hit at the time raised fears of a response from Hezbollah, Lebanon’s strongest political party and paramilitary group that holds dominion in the targeted suburbs. On March 10, al-Jamaa al-Islamiya announced three of its leaders had been killed in clashes with Israel in southern Lebanon.
