Beirut, May 22 (Petra)– Four paramedics were killed in two Israeli
airstrikes carried out by Israeli warplanes on the town of Hanaouayh
in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon.
In a statement, Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said the strikes
targeted a paramedic center affiliated with the Islamic Health
Authority in Hanaouayh, killing four medics and injuring several
others with varying wounds while they were carrying out their
humanitarian duties.
The ministry described the direct targeting as “not merely a passing
violation,” but as further clear evidence of breaches of
international humanitarian law and a violation of international norms
and resolutions prohibiting attacks on medical and relief personnel.
On the ground, a Lebanese security source told the Jordan News Agency
(Petra) correspondent in Beirut that Israeli warplanes and drones
launched raids on several southern towns earlier on Friday. The
Israeli army also reportedly carried out a large-scale demolition
operation in the town of Khiam at dawn.
