Six Lebanese health workers were killed and four wounded in Israeli strikes across south Lebanon on Thursday, the health ministry said in a statement.

The strikes killed five paramedics with the Hezbollah-affiliated Islamic Health Committee and one with the Amal-linked Risala Scouts, the ministry said.

The total number of health workers killed by Israel since October 2023 rose to 178 and 279 wounded, the ministry added.

Israeli attacks killed 45 people in Lebanon in the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to 2,865 since October 2023, the ministry said in a separate statement.

The Israeli military said on Friday it intercepted overnight an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in Syrian territory that was launched towards Israel.
The UAV was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory, the Israeli army said.
On Thursday, Syrian state media reported that a number of civilians were wounded and material damage was caused by an "Israeli aggression" on Qusayr in Homs province, in central Syria.
The Israeli military, which typically does not comment on specific reports of strikes in Syria, said in a statement it had hit "weapons storage facilities and command centers" used by militant group Hezbollah in the area of Al-Qusayr.

According to the Israeli military, in recent months, Israel has been carrying out strikes to reduce the transfer of weapons from Iran through Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon, which it said had spread to into the town of Al-Qusayr, near the Syrian-Lebanese border.
The attack targeted the industrial zone of Qusayr and some of the city's residential neighborhoods, according to state media.
