A new massacre has been committed by Israel in southern Lebanon, where 7 paramedics were killed in an airstrike targeting a center of the Islamic Medical Association in the town of Al-Habbariyah, southern Lebanon. The administration of the Lebanese Ambulance Association, responsible for the emergency and relief services, stated in a press release that "this targeting is a monstrous crime by all standards and a blatant violation of international laws and charters, and we hold the perpetrators of this heinous crime fully responsible. We also demand that the Lebanese authorities take the necessary measures to pursue the criminals in international courts."
Video footage showed the extent of the destruction caused by the Israeli airstrike and the ongoing debris removal efforts at the targeted emergency center in Al-Habbariyah.
In a comment on the incident, a political official of the Islamic Group in southern Lebanon confirmed that "the targeting of the humanitarian center by the occupation is a crossing of red lines," announcing that "12 paramedics were working at the center at the time of the bombing by the occupation." The Israeli army stated, "We targeted a military building belonging to the Islamic Group in Al-Habbariyah, southern Lebanon."
The border between Lebanon and Israel continues to experience ongoing tension with escalating clashes, where the Israeli army has recently expanded its engagement radius, conducting airstrikes in the eastern Baalbek area and the western Bekaa Valley.
Meanwhile, the leadership of UNIFIL operating in Lebanon renewed "calls for all active parties to lay down their weapons and recommit to UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and work towards a political and diplomatic solution." Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant announced from Washington that "the failure to achieve a decisive victory in Gaza could bring Israel closer to war in the north."
### Hezbollah Condemns
"Hezbollah" condemned the "sinful aggression and heinous crime" committed by the Israeli army against patients and medical staff at the Islamic Medical Association center in Al-Habbariyah, which led to the martyrdom of a number of Lebanese civilians. The party stated in a statement: "We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the dear martyrs." It emphasized that this aggression will not go unanswered or without punishment.
Additionally, the media relations office of "Hezbollah" categorically denied false and malicious news circulated in the media regarding an alleged attempt by members of the Islamic Resistance to launch rockets at the Zionist enemy from within the town of Remeish or from near its school or from the area of the town in general, stating that such news is false and fabricated, with no basis in reality whatsoever.
The statement stressed that "the entities insisting and persisting on spreading these false rumors and taking positions based on them are slanderous parties and instigators of strife among the Lebanese, working in service to the enemy and its goals, whether they realize it or not, warning the Lebanese of these malignant machinations and their vile objectives."
