Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’

Key Points:

• Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon targeted ambulances and medical workers in a series of attacks known as "quadruple tap," killing four paramedics and injuring six more from multiple ambulance corps, including Hezbollah and Amal-affiliated groups.
• The attacks involved repeated strikes on the same rescue sites and ambulances, violating international laws protecting medical personnel as non-combatants.
• The Lebanese Ministry of Health condemned the strikes as deliberate targeting of paramedics, while Israel accused Hezbollah of misusing medical vehicles without providing evidence.
• Healthcare facilities, including the only public hospital in Tebnine, have been repeatedly hit, injuring staff and damaging emergency departments, with the World Health Organization calling for urgent protection of healthcare infrastructure.
• Despite the risks and mental toll, Lebanese medical workers vow to continue their rescue efforts amid ongoing Israeli bombardments and rising casualties among healthcare personnel.
