Lebanon slams ‘systematic Israeli attacks’ on health workers, facilities

Lebanese Health Minister Rakan Nasseredine has shared a video on social media showing several instances of Israeli forces attacking paramedics and other healthcare workers in Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports.

In one incident, as first responders try to evacuate an injured paramedic in an ambulance, a blast is seen blowing out the back windows of the vehicle.

“The systematic targeting of healthcare workers and facilities is a grave violation of International humanitarian law,” Nasseredine writes in a post on X alongside the video. “We place this evidence before the world: silence is complicity. Protect Lebanon’s healers.”
