Lebanon: 51 Killed Including 2 Medics in Israeli Strikes in 24 Hours — Health Ministry Strikes on Medical Facilities in Bint Jbeil — Day 72
Lebanon's Health Ministry reported 51 people killed in Israeli airstrikes across southern Lebanon in the 24-hour period through May 10, 2026 (Day 72), including two medical workers. Israeli strikes directly hit Lebanese Health Authority facilities in Qalawiya and Tibnin in the Bint Jbeil district, which human rights organizations condemned as a violation of international humanitarian law. The broader Lebanon toll since the conflict began in early March stood at 2,846 killed by May 10. The strikes occurred as the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire continued to fray ahead of its May 17 expiry date. Israel's operation in southern Lebanon was described as targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, with the IDF claiming prior warnings were issued. Lebanon's government called for an emergency UN Security Council session. Al Jazeera's May 11 live blog listed 'Israel kills 2 medics in Lebanon' as one of the day's top headlines.
