Israel commits war crimes by targeting health infrastructure and UN peacekeepers in Lebanon

Human Rights Watch is calling on countries to suspend arms sales to Israel, accusing it of committing war crimes by attacking medical personnel and medical facilities in Lebanon. Since last week, Israel has killed more than 160 health and rescue workers in Lebanon and damaged more than 150 ambulances and 55 hospitals.

Meanwhile, the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, UNIFILsays his forces continue to be attacked.

Andrea Tenenti: “From October 1, UNIFIL recorded more than 30 incidents that resulted in damage to UN property or premises or injury to peacekeepers. About 20 of these, we could attribute to them IDF fire or actions, seven being clearly deliberate.”
