Hundred medics and first responders now killed by Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon - since March.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Channel 4 News was at the scene of an airstrike in Lebanon that hit near a hospital just moments after a team of paramedics attended a funeral for one of their colleagues in Nabatieh.

It comes as President Trump has announced that a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will begin later tonight.

More than a million people have been displaced by the Israeli invasion of the south, while airstrikes have struck across the country, targeting villages and major cities.

مساء اليوم وأثناء تنفيذ مهمة إنسانية في موقع على طريق بلدة بيت ياحون, تعرضت فرق الصليب الأحمر اللبناني للإستهداف المباشر من مسيرة إسرائيلية، فأدى ذلك إلى استشهاد المسعف حسن بدوي واصابة مسعف آخر بجروح طفيفة وجرى نقلهما إلى مستشفى تبنين الحكومي.

Derrière les chiffres, des hommes, femmes et enfants, des vies fauchées…”

Yesterday's raids on Beirut and the rest of #Lebanon are a very serious and unacceptable act: bombing a capital, hitting densely populated areas and sowing death among civilians, means violating every principle of international humanitarian law. The Italian Embassy in Beirut mourns with all the Nation.

🚑🚨 If you have nothing to do, clear the roads for ambulances and people rushing to the hospitals with the wounded, their families, and the ones who want to give blood.

Just walk.

@JoumannaTV I wonder how the arabic speaking press will cover this.

It’s 2am in #Beirut.
A relatively calmer night. No warnings. No strikes for the past few hours.
You’d think nights like this would make it easier to fall asleep. But the body stays wide awake. On alert. Waiting for the next notification, the next sound in the sky.
As a mental health professional we know well what this means. The bombs will eventually stop - but the damage to our nervous system can last a life-time.
Let’s keep that in mind.

Israël mène une guerre destructrice contre le Hezbollah au Liban et dans certains quartiers de Beyrouth.

Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The United Arab Emirates affirms that it is in a state of defense in response to the brutal and unprovoked Iranian aggression, which included the launch of more than 1,400 ballistic missiles and drones targeting infrastructure and civilian sites, resulting in civilian deaths and injuries. These attacks constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter, an infringement of the UAE’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a direct threat to its security and stability.

The UAE stresses that it does not seek to be drawn into conflicts or escalation. However, the UAE reaffirms its full right to take all necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty, national security, and territorial integrity, and to ensure the safety of its citizens and residents, in accordance with international law and the UN Charter.

ب #يوم_المرأة_العالمي ، تحية لكل امرأة، بلبنان ووين ما كان، اضطرت بزمن الحرب تترك بيتها مجبورة، ولكل ام سهرانة بالليل حتى ولادها ما يسمعوا صوت ويخافوا، ولكل صبية كان عندها أحلام ورافضة تتخلى عنها رغم الحرب والظروف، قلبي وتفكيري وصلاتي معكن، لو ما منكم، الحياة ما بتكفي 🫶🏻🙏🏻
