UN Condemns Attacks on Health Care Facilities in Lebanon, Resulting in Civilian and Rescuer Deaths

UN Condemns Attacks on Health Care Facilities in Lebanon, Resulting in Civilian and Rescuer Deaths

The United Nations expressed concern on Thursday over attacks on health care facilities in Lebanon, following the deaths of 11 civilians, including 10 paramedics, in three separate Israeli strikes the previous day.
The attacks occurred near the border with Israel, where there has been ongoing cross-border fire between Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel since October 7.

The UN's humanitarian coordinator for Lebanon, Imran Riza, condemned the attacks on health facilities and workers, who risk their lives to provide aid to their communities.

The UN condemned attacks on health care facilities in Lebanon, which resulted in the deaths of several militants and rescuers.

Hezbollah and the Amal movement reported losses, with Hezbollah claiming four fighters and two rescuers were killed.

Jamaa Islamiya stated that seven rescuers were killed in Israeli strikes on an emergency center.

The Israeli military targeted a "military compound" and claimed to have thwarted terrorist attacks against Israel.

In response, Hezbollah launched rocket attacks into northern Israel, resulting in one civilian death.

On Thursday, a militant group announced they carried out attacks on the northern Israeli towns of Shlomi and the agricultural village of Goren in response to the previous day's violence.

The escalation has sparked concerns of a wider conflict.

Over the past six months, at least 346 people have been killed in Lebanon, primarily Hezbollah fighters but also civilians, according to AFP. The clashes have forced tens of thousands to flee in both southern Lebanon and northern Israel, where ten soldiers and eight civilians have lost their lives.
