At least 30 martyrs in Israeli strikes on Baalbek and the South, Health Ministry says

Beirut, SANA- At least 30 people were martyred in a series of Israeli strikes that targeted several towns in the governorates of Baalbek-Hermel and the South.

“20 people were martyred and 14 others were injured in the initial toll of the Israeli strikes on the Baalbek-Hermel Governorate, with 11 martyrs in Knaisseh town, 5 martyrs and 6 injured in Hadath Baalbek, 2 martyrs and 6 injured in Jamaliyah, 2 martyrs in Nabi Sheet, and 2 injured in Majdaloun,” Lebanese Health Ministry said in a statement Saturday.

The ministry added that the Israeli enemy’s raids on Deir Qanun Ras al-Ain and Ein Baal targeted the paramedics’ gathering points and led to 5 martyrs from al-Risala Scouts, one martyr and two wounded from the health authority in Deir Qanun Ras al-Ain, and three wounded from al-Risala Association’s paramedics in Ein Baal.

The Health Ministry renewed its condemnation of the Israeli enemy’s continued targeting of paramedics in an ongoing war crime that hasn’t received a deterrent stance from the international community, which is obligated to protect international humanitarian laws to prevent the world from being ruled by the law of violence and genocide.

Five people were also martyred in an Israeli airstrike on the town of Hanawiya in Tyre district.
