Tel Aviv [Israel], October 8: At least 10 rescue workers have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a municipal building near Bint Jbeil in Lebanon, according to the Health Ministry.
Firefighters were said to have been in the building at the time of the bombing.
Lebanese security sources confirmed to dpa on Monday that at least 10 people were killed. Lebanese broadcaster LBCI reported that the attack targeted a building belonging to the Islamic Health Authority, a Hezbollah umbrella organization operating hospitals in the country.
Meanwhile Israel continued its attacks near Tyre and Nabatieh and other places in southern Lebanon.
The civil defence authority reported more than 160 missions in the country, including recovering bodies and injured people from the rubble, extinguishing fires and clearing debris.
Israel's army ordered the evacuation of more than 20 villages in the south, a sign of further impending attacks.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army announced on Monday that it had sent more ground troops from its 91st Division into the south of Lebanon, as the conflict that has engulfed the region hit the one-year mark.
The Israeli army released a video apparently showing its soldiers on Lebanese territory.
Israel does not provide the exact numbers of troops in Lebanon, nor of those participating in its ongoing operations in the Gaza Strip, but an Israeli army division can comprise several thousand soldiers.
The Israeli army appears to be concentrating on an area near the towns of Udaissa and Kafr Kila in the south-east of Lebanon and around Bint Jubayl in the south.
Further skirmishes have been reported between fighters from the Lebanese armed Islamist group Hezbollah and Israeli soldiers in these areas. Hezbollah said on Monday that it had launched a missile attack on a group of soldiers in the border town of Maroun al-Ras.
Strikes on Hamas in Gaza The Israeli air force attacked a command centre of the Palestinian militant organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said early on Monday.
