The IDF says Hezbollah “systematically and repeatedly uses medical facilities and equipment — particularly ambulances — to conceal terrorist activity,” including by using “vehicles and medical teams as cover for transporting weapons and operatives, thereby undermining the special protections granted to medical facilities and equipment under international law.”

During an incident this week, the IDF says, several armed Hezbollah operatives were killed in the Qantara area after violating the ceasefire terms and posing a threat to troops. During scans in the area following the incident, troops of the Golani Brigade located “an ambulance used by the terrorists to conceal weapons,” including explosive devices, mortar shells, magazines, and a grenade, the military says.

In another incident this month, troops of the 7th Armored Brigade killed an RPG-wielding Hezbollah operative near an ambulance. The IDF says “weapons were uncovered inside the ambulance, which had been used by the terrorist to establish himself in the area and carry out attacks from a ‘protected’ position.”

Additional footage released by the IDF shows what it says are Hezbollah operatives who survived Israeli strikes fleeing and hiding until an ambulance arrives to collect them.

According to the IDF, Hezbollah has “increased its use of ambulances to transport operatives between locations while disguising their identities,” due to Israeli warnings to Lebanese civilians ahead of strikes, which make it “harder for Hezbollah operatives to blend in with non-combatants and move throughout the area.”
