The Israeli occupation deliberately targeted an assembly point where the Civil Defense's Islamic Health Authority had gathered, in the Dardghaya junction, in the Tyre district, killing four medics, the Lebanese Health Ministry revealed.
In a statement, the Ministry revealed that "Israel" targeted another Islamic Health Authority location, this time in the town of Selaa, in the Tyre district. Although their vehicle was set ablaze, the medics miraculously survived.
However, in Deir al-Zahrani, South Lebanon, the Israeli entity struck an ambulance, leading to the martyrdom of one medic and the injury of two others.
In Zefta, Nabatieh, an Israeli airstrike bombarded another ambulance, killing a medic and injuring two more.
The Lebanese Health Ministry stated that it was witnessing a series of attacks on medics, amounting to four consecutive assaults over a period of three hours only, raising the death toll of medical workers and volunteers in Lebanon to 172 since the start of the aggression on Lebanon, alongside 279 injuries and 246 destroyed vehicles.
"The international community's silence toward this brutality is unjustified, during a time when efforts should be exerted to abide by international law and put an end to this monstrous machine that continues to target working crews on the frontlines."
