An Israeli strike on southern Lebanon killed six people on Friday, including two rescuers and a child, the Lebanese health ministry said, despite a fragile ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war. 

In a statement, the ministry said that "six people were martyred" including two rescuers from the Risala Scouts association, one of them also working as a freelance photographer, and a Syrian girl in a strike on Deir Qanun al-Nahr village. The association is linked with the Hezbollah-allied Amal movement. 

An earlier strike on the southern town of Hanaway on Friday also killed four rescuers from the Hezbollah-linked Islamic Health Committee, the ministry said.
