The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday denied Lebanese reports of a “double-tap” strike in the Nabatieh area, saying it was unaware of any attacks there during that time.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said an attack had targeted a vehicle in the southern city of Nabatieh, with the health ministry reporting two wounded.

The ministry said the Israeli military struck again when rescuers from the Risala Scouts Association, linked to the Hezbollah-allied Amal movement, came to the scene, damaging the ambulance.

“The ministry reiterates its condemnation of the enemy’s continued targeting of rescue teams, which constitutes an unacceptable violation of international humanitarian law and all international norms,” it said.

Lebanon’s civil defense, meanwhile, said that its personnel were targeted by an Israeli drone strike while they were trying to extinguish a bushfire, also in the Nabatieh area. No one was wounded, but the incident forced them to leave, the civil defense said.

But the Israeli military rejected the claims.

“Following a review, no IDF strike in the area is known,” the military said in response to an inquiry.
