— 🇱🇧/🇮🇱 Israel's Systematic Targeting of Children and Healthcare: A Policy Replicated in Lebanon

Since October 4, the Israeli military has killed at least one child and injured 10 daily in Lebanon, according to UNICEF, but the real numbers are likely higher by the dozens. The World Health Organization reports at least 55 verified attacks on healthcare workers and facilities in Lebanon by Israel.

A recent CNN investigation analyzed over 240 airstrikes in Lebanon, revealing that at least 24 hospitals are within a 500-meter 'danger zone' designated by the Israeli military. Israel dropped munitions within a lethal range of 340 meters from at least 19 hospitals.

In Beirut and its southern suburbs, CNN confirmed that 10 hospitals fell within the 'kill zone,' where bomb fragments can cause fatalities. Nine hospitals have been damaged, three of which closed due to Israeli strikes since September 23. Lebanon's health ministry indicates that about 20% of hospitals in the country have been affected.

Israeli strikes have also killed at least 12 Lebanese Civil Defense first responders and 16 Lebanese Red Cross paramedics. Overall, since September 23, Israel has killed at least 111 emergency medical technicians, struck 107 ambulances, and damaged 34 hospitals.
