"The Israel Defense Forces bombed a densely populated, residential area near the Rafik Hariri University hospital, Lebanon's largest public hospital, killing at least five people and wounding 50 others. This attack is consistent with Israel's broader strategy in Lebanon, targeting hospitals and medics, sometimes when they are sitting in ambulances or in first aid centres."
"Israel is applying its Gaza tactics to Lebanon. The blueprint has proven effective. It renders normal the destruction of hospitals and medical equipment and simultaneously acts as a deterrent to people seeking medical care."
"According to Save the Children, there is an attack on healthcare facilities every six hours in the Middle East and wider region, indicating that hospitals themselves have been relegated to de facto war zones of their own."
During Easter weekend, the Israel Defense Forces bombed a residential area near Rafik Hariri University hospital, resulting in five deaths and 50 injuries. This attack aligns with Israel's strategy of crippling healthcare in Lebanon, targeting hospitals and medics. The ongoing conflict has led to large-scale civilian displacement and destruction of healthcare facilities, making parts of Lebanon unlivable. Reports indicate that attacks on healthcare occur every six hours in the region, highlighting the dire situation for medical workers and patients alike.
