"The situation in Lebanon can be described as an emergency. Six hospitals have completely stopped their work, five partially. The Israeli military carried out 23 attacks on medical facilities — 70 medical workers were killed," he said.
The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah escalated in October 2023, when the Lebanese movement began shelling the Jewish state in support of Hamas. Tens of thousands of residents of the northern regions of the country were forced to evacuate.
The IDF has been conducting massive bombardments of Hezbollah targets since September 23, in which the movement's leaders, including Secretary General Hassan Nasrullah and his possible successors, were killed. On October 1, the Israeli army launched a ground operation, reports ria.ru.
In Israel, the main goal of the military campaign is to create conditions for the return of residents of the northern regions.
