Israeli bombing: Three hospitals in Lebanon stopped working

Three hospitals in Lebanon stopped working today amid the ongoing Israeli bombing. The National News Agency reported that Saint Therese Hospital, located on the outskirts of the southern suburb of the capital, Beirut, reported “severe damage.” In addition, the area surrounding the building was attacked by “Israeli warplanes” yesterday.

Mays al-Jabal Hospital, not far from the border with Israel, also announced “the cessation of work in all its departments” and justified this, among other things, with “hostile attacks on the hospital” since October of last year. There are also problems with supply and access for staff.

The director of the government hospital in Marjayoun, southern Lebanon, Moanes Kalkish, told AFP that ambulances and paramedics were injured in an Israeli air strike at the main entrance to the clinic.

According to the National News Agency, four paramedics from the Islamic Health Committee of the Hezbollah militia were killed in the air strike. Kalaksh said staff reductions and the recent attack made it necessary to close the hospital.

Nasrallah's successor is the target of new attacks

Intense airstrikes in Beirut last night, according to unconfirmed reports, targeted Hashem Safi al-Din, head of the Hezbollah militia's executive council and the presumed successor to decades-long Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed last week.
