HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH CHARGES ISRAEL WAR CRIMES IN LEBANON
November 1, 2024Repeated attacks on paramedics, hospitals and medical centers in Lebanon are “apparent war crimes,” says Human Rights Watch (HRW), as it warned on Wednesday that the attacks on health workers have growing parallels to Gaza.
A new report published by the international rights group found three cases in which it was able to determine that Israeli forces had “unlawfully struck medical personnel, transports, and facilities, including paramedics” in Lebanon.
Medical personnel and health facilities are protected under International Humanitarian Law and can only be considered a military target if used to commit ‘acts harmful to the enemy.’
“In none of the cases we investigated did we find that to be the case,” Lebanon researcher for Human Rights Watch Ramzi Kaiss told L’Orient Today.
