Reports issued by the Lebanese Health Ministry and an investigation by CNN revealed that Israeli airstrikes profusely targeted locations in dangerous proximity to hospitals, which are protected facilities under international law. 

CNN sampled 240 airstrikes launched by the occupation on Lebanon over the past month, and found that at least 24 hospitals were located in a 500-meter radius from the targeted zone. 

"Israel", according to the findings of the investigation, dropped its bombs within the "lethal range", or at a distance of 340 meters from a total of 19 hospitals at least. 

CNN's analysis focused solely on airstrikes that were confirmed through publicly accessible images or mentioned in Israeli military evacuation orders from September 23 to October 23.

Trevor Ball, a former senior explosive ordnance technician for the US military, said "Even a hospital that is not directly targeted can be damaged from the blast wave or fragmentation caused by a nearby strike," noting that fragments of the explosion could injure or kill people hundreds of meter away if they were not adequately protected or covered. 

In Beirut and its Southern Suburb, 10 hospitals were within "Israel's" kill zone, according to the investigation. 

The report further noted that "Israel" has regularly used 1,000-pound and 2,000-pound bombs on Lebanon, causing devastating destruction to neighborhoods and towns, according to an analysis of post-strike imagery by weapons experts. 

WHO sounds alarms: Over 55 Israeli attacks on Lebanon's medical assets

The World Health Organization is sounding the alarm over "Israel's" repeated and escalating attacks on Lebanese health workers and facilities, expressing its "deep concern" during a United Nations session on Friday. 

WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris revealed that 55 attacks have been verified so far, stressing that the number remains a severe underestimation of the actual total of attacks, heightening concerns about worsening conditions for both medical staff and patients.

The WHO's urgent call to address this issue highlights the hazards healthcare workers encounter as violence in the region escalates.

The Lebanese Health Ministry on Thursday 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."
