'Making health workers a military target'

Also according to the ministry, an Israeli strike on Toul (Nabatieh) killed three, including a member of the Islamic Health Committee, and wounded three, including a rescue worker.
"The Israeli enemy is adopting a systematic method that makes health workers a military target."
"It is now clear that the Israeli enemy is adopting a systematic method that makes health workers a military target, since they fall as martyrs during each rescue operation they undertake, which is a grave and persistent violation of international humanitarian law," the ministry further denounced in a statement.
Israel also carried out strikes on Braasheet (Bint Jbeil) as well as Mansouri, Majdel Zoun, and Qana (Sour), where one person was seriously injured.
