Overnight, six people were killed and seven others were injured when a house in Kfar Dounine was hit, according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA).
On Tuesday afternoon, Lebanon's health ministry said two paramedics from the state-run Lebanese Civil Defense emergency service were killed and a third was injured in an Israeli strike on Nabatieh, as they carried out a rescue mission in response to an earlier attack that killed one person.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun expressed "sadness and regret at the killing of two Civil Defence members" in Nabatieh - who were identified as Hussein Jaber and Ahmad Noura - and emphasised that "the continued Israeli aggression hinders efforts to restore calm".
The health ministry accused Israeli forces of deliberately targeting the paramedics.
"This targeting constitutes further evidence of the Israeli enemy's blatant violation of international humanitarian law and its full disregard for all international norms," it said.
The ministry said on Monday that 108 emergency medical services and healthcare workers had been killed in Lebanon during the war, with more than 140 Israeli attacks recorded on ambulances and medical facilities.
NNA also reported that a Syrian man was killed and his wife was wounded when an Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle they were riding on a road in the Tayr Debba area on Tuesday.
The Israeli military said it struck a suspect who was fleeing after what it described as an unsuccessful attempt to launch a surface-to-air missile towards one of its aircraft.

A further three people were killed in an attack on Jabshit on Tuesday, NNA reported.
