Israel has expanded its attacks on Lebanon to include healthcare centers, medical facilities, and ambulances. The latest of these attacks targeted the primary healthcare center in the town of Burj Quallawiyah in Bint Jbeil.
The Israeli army claimed that Hezbollah uses medical facilities and ambulances for military purposes.
It warned in a post on X that if this approach does not stop, Israel will act in accordance with international law against any military activity by Hezbollah using these facilities and ambulances.
