The World Health Organization says another health worker has been killed in southern Lebanon due to Israel’s expanding military operations in the region.
A paramedic was killed in a strike on an ambulance in Bint Jbeil, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says in an X post, adding that a medical warehouse in the same city was destroyed in an attack.
Before the latest casualty, WHO had verified 51 Lebanese health workers killed since March 2, including nine paramedics on Saturday, Tedros says.
The IDF has repeatedly accused the Hezbollah terror group of using ambulances and medical facilities in Lebanon for military purposes.
“We reiterate our warning that the military use of medical facilities and ambulances must cease immediately, and clarify that if it does not stop, Israel will act in accordance with international law against any military activity of the Hezbollah terror organization,” said army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee earlier today.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
