The strike in Hanin comes after a previous Israeli aggression on Hebbariyeh, which targeted paramedics and killed seven, according to reports. The latest aggression joins a series of Israeli airstrikes that have targeted civilians in Lebanon, adding to the toll of innocent lives lost in the ongoing Israeli aggression.
