Hezbollah issues a statement following the targeting of Nasser Hospital in Gaza

Hezbollah strongly condemned the Israeli attack that targeted the surgical building in the Nasser Medical Complex in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, considering it a “new war crime” and a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian laws that guarantee the protection of medical institutions and their workers during armed conflicts.

The party explained in an official statement that the bombing resulted in the death of a number of civilians and the injury of doctors, patients, and workers in the health facility, in addition to putting the surgical building completely out of service, noting that this attack reflects the continuation of the Israeli approach to targeting the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, as part of what it described as an ongoing “war of extermination.”

The statement stressed that targeting hospitals, medical staff, the sick, and the wounded “cannot be justified by any pretext,” criticizing at the same time the continued international and Arab silence regarding these attacks, and warning that the absence of effective positions and measures encourages Israel to commit more violations and massacres.

At the conclusion of its statement, Hezbollah renewed its full solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance, calling on the international community and human rights institutions to shoulder their responsibilities by taking immediate action to stop the attacks and hold Israeli leaders accountable for their crimes against civilians and medical facilities in the Gaza Strip.
