Israel has killed 41 health workers in Lebanon so far

[Rayane Moussallem @RioMoussallem]

Dina Darwiche, a UNHCR employee, has been killed alongside her son Jad in an Israeli strike that hit their residential building in Bekaa, Lebanon😞

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel is intentionally bombing the vicinity of hospitals and schools across South Lebanon, and critical roads leading to hospitals and medical facilities.

Israel is targeting civilian homes and infrastructure, not military targets.

These are blatant war crimes.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel is using the same script in Lebanon that it used to justify the total destruction and mass slaughter in Gaza because they faced no consequences. US weapons continue to flow and the media continues to whitewash.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

BREAKING:

Israel is intensely bombing villages in South Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, deliberately targeting civilian areas in the middle of the night.

[Dr Kerri Andrews @kerriandrewsuk]

Well shit.
