Six people were killed and 22 wounded in an Israeli strike on a civil defense center in southern Lebanon early Saturday, according to Lebanon's state news agency.
Three of the dead were paramedics, indicating the attack hit an emergency-response facility rather than a frontline military position.
The strike adds to cross-border violence along the Israel-Lebanon frontier, where civilian and rescue personnel have repeatedly been caught in the fighting.
