A statement issued by Hezbollah’s media relations department confirmed that the Israeli military continues its terrorist crimes against humanity.

In a statement, Hezbollah’s Media Relations Office reported, “After its brutal airstrikes destroyed numerous residential buildings in the southern suburbs last night, its aircraft are now attacking civil defense teams engaged in debris removal and rescue operations. These strikes have led to the martyrdom of one member of the Islamic Health Authority’s civil defense team, with several others injured.” According to Almanar.

The statement called on the Lebanese government and the relevant international institutions to condemn this barbaric act that violates all humanitarian norms and international resolutions and to do what can be done to allow these humanitarian teams to carry out their humanitarian rescue duties.
