In yet another act of Israeli aggression against Lebanon, targeting the heart of Beirut, the Israeli occupation has once again attacked healthcare workers, adding to its flagrant violations of international law.

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell swiftly condemned the Israeli attack in a post on X, emphasizing that "Israel" targeted not only civilians but also healthcare workers. 

IDF targeted once again healthcare workers overnight, in central Beirut: 7 people including paramedics were killed.
Not only civilians are victims of attacks, including in densely populated areas, but they are deprived of emergency care.
I condemn this violation of IHL.

— Josep Borrell Fontelles (@JosepBorrellF) October 3, 2024

This is not the first instance of the Israeli occupation targeting healthcare workers; rather, it has become a disturbing pattern that demonstrates a blatant disregard for international humanitarian law.

Last week, over a dozen paramedics were killed in Lebanon in Israeli attacks, according to the country's Health Ministry.

The ministry confirmed that 14 paramedics were killed on September 27 during two days of relentless Israeli bombardment in the eastern and southern regions of Lebanon, as well as in Beirut, where Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred.

In its statement, the Ministry strongly denounced the Israeli occupation for its continuous attacks on medical facilities, underscoring that "paramedics do not engage in hostilities" and deserve protection during times of war.

“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 continued.

The statement emphasized that the Israeli occupation's repeated attacks on health centers and vehicles "flout international laws and norms, particularly the Geneva Convention," which underscores the need for the neutrality of health facilities and healthcare workers in war zones to enable them to fulfill their humanitarian responsibilities.
