The ministry said a Lebanese Red Cross ambulance was then obstructed and fired upon while attempting to evacuate the wounded, including being hit with a stun grenade.
Faraj was taken to hospital along with the bodies of two people killed in the first strike, but rescue teams were unable to reach Khalil due to ongoing fire. State media said a Red Cross vehicle transporting Faraj showed bullet marks upon arrival at Tebnine Governmental Hospital.
