The IDF says the Hezbollah terror group is making “extensive military use” of ambulances and medical facilities in Lebanon.

“We warn that the military use of medical facilities and ambulances must stop immediately, and we stress that if this approach does not stop, Israel will act in accordance with international law against any military activity carried out by the Hezbollah terror organization using those facilities and ambulances,” says army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.

Yesterday, an Israeli strike on a healthcare center in southern Lebanon killed at least 12 medical personnel, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. Another strike reportedly killed two paramedics affiliated with Hezbollah and its ally Amal.
