Lebanon releases footage of Israel deliberately attacking healthcare workers

Lebanon’s Health Minister Rakan Nasseredine has released video footage showing what he says are repeated Israeli attacks on paramedics and healthcare workers across the country.

The footage captures several incidents, including one in which first responders attempt to evacuate a wounded medic inside an ambulance before a blast shatters the vehicle’s rear windows.

“The systematic targeting of healthcare workers and facilities is a grave violation of International humanitarian law,” Nasseredine wrote in a post on X alongside the video.

“We place this evidence before the world: Silence is complicity. Protect Lebanon’s healers.”

The minister’s statement adds to growing accusations that Israel is deliberately targeting medical teams and infrastructure, actions widely condemned under international law.
