0:00I'm Ben Thomas with an AP News Minute. A 10-day ceasefire has gone into effect in Lebanon, heralded by a barrage of gunshots in Beirut, as residents celebrated by firing into the air. But Isabelle Debrae reports Lebanon's health ministry is condemning Israeli strikes Wednesday that killed four medics in southern Lebanon. And what we heard from the Lebanese health ministry was that first there was a paramedic team that responded to an emergency call. They were going to the site of an Israeli air strike where there were wounded people they needed to rescue. And as they were arriving to Mevo Dune, they were hit by an Israeli drone strike and killing two paramedics and wounding others. And then the paramedic sent yet another team in order to rescue that first team. And as they were arriving, another Israeli strike hit that team and wounded three of those paramedics. The civil defense decided to send yet a third team in order to rescue the first and the second teams. They were also hit. Another two paramedics were killed in that third strike. The AP's Isabelle Debrae reporting from Beirut and I'm Ben Thomas.
