The Israeli military pressed on Saturday with its days-long bombing campaign targeting an area near Beirut dominated by Hezbollah, while in the country’s south, Israeli airstrikes killed two paramedics, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.

Suzanne Karkaba and her father Ali were both civil defence rescuers whose job was to save the injured and recover the dead in Lebanon's war. Wearing her civil defence uniform at the scene, Karkaba said she had been working around-the-clock since Israel ramped up its air raids on Lebanon's east in late September.

A series of intense Israeli strikes targeted areas of Beirut’s southern suburbs Saturday morning as Hezbollah continued considering the latest ceasefire proposal.
