Lebanon: Israeli forces’ airstrikes kill 14 medics in 2 days
More than a dozen paramedics have been killed in recent Israeli attacks, Lebanon’s health ministry announced.
The Lebanese health ministry announced on Sunday that 14 paramedics had been killed in two days of intense Israeli bombardment in Lebanon's east and south and in Beirut where it had killed Hezbollah's leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
The ministry said in its statement that it "condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli enemy's repeated attacks on medical centers" and that "paramedics do not participate in hostilities."
“The Israeli occupation forces have accumulated their attacks on paramedics and health centers in recent days. This series of attacks led to the martyrdom of fourteen paramedics in two days,” it said in the statement.
"The repeated attacks by the Israeli enemy on health centers flout international laws and norms, especially the Geneva Convention which highlights the neutrality of health centers and health workers in combat zones to allow them to carry out their humanitarian duty."
“Does Israel want the blood to flow without stopping? Where is the international community and its responsibility to put an end to this escalating genocide?” it added.
The Lebanese Government Emergency Committee announced that the Israeli war machine launched 216 air attacks in the past 24 hours across Lebanon.
The Israeli airstrikes are due to the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance group showing solidarity with and giving support to Palestinians since the Tel Aviv leaders unleashed a genocidal war against the besieged Gaza Strip in October 2023.
Since then, Israeli attacks on Lebanese targets have left 1,640 people dead.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who led the resistance movement for over three decades, was himself martyred after Israeli regime forces bombarded a Beirut suburb using US-made jet fighters and bunker-buster bombs.
