Responding to the killings and injuries of dozens of healthcare workers and first responders in Lebanon since 2 March 2026, amid escalating attacks by the Israeli military and its allegations \u2013 without providing evidence – that ambulances and healthcare sites are being used for military activities and may be targeted, Kristine Beckerle, Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael is deploying the same deadly playbook it used in 2024 in Lebanon to kill dozens of health workers and devastate healthcare services. Amnesty International\u2019s past research highlighted how the Israeli military repeatedly carried out unlawful attacks on health facilities and health workers during the 2024 escalation and we called for these to be investigated as war crimes. The Israeli military has also repeatedly and unlawfully attacked health facilities\u00a0and medical teams<\/a>\u00a0in Gaza, as part of a broader pattern of devastating essential services. There has yet to be any accountability or redress for those violations, and now we\u2019re seeing healthcare workers once again killed and wounded.<\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare workers are risking their lives to save others, and hospitals, other medical facilities and ambulances are specifically protected under international humanitarian law.\u00a0 Throwing out accusations claiming that healthcare facilities and ambulances are being used for military purposes without providing any evidence does not justify treating hospitals, medical facilities or medical transport as battlefields or treating doctors and paramedics as targets. Under international humanitarian law parties to a conflict must ensure to distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects.<\/p>\n

\u201cHospitals and medical transports only lose their protection if they are used for acts that are considered \u2018harmful to the enemy\u2019, and even then, can only be targeted after a warning that gives sufficient time for the evacuation of patients and staff goes unheeded. In cases of doubt as to whether medical facilities are being used to contribute to military activity, they should be presumed not to be so used. An attack on a medical facility that has lost its protected status must adhere to the rules on precautions, distinction and proportionality and consider carefully the adverse effects that attacking medical facilities has on civilians, the sick and wounded.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder international humanitarian law, civilians, including healthcare workers, do not lose their protected status simply based on an affiliation. As such, direct attacks on medical personnel and those working in civil defence merely on the basis that they are working for institutions associated with Hezbollah are strictly prohibited. Deliberately striking medics performing their humanitarian functions is a serious violation of international humanitarian law and could constitute a war crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll parties must uphold their legal obligation to protect civilians, medical personnel, patients and healthcare infrastructure at all times. The protection of healthcare is not optional \u2014 it is a binding rule of war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0World Health Organization<\/a>, between 2 and 15 March 2026, 28 attacks on healthcare have been recorded, killing 30 people and injuring 35.<\/p>\n

Lebanon\u2019s Ministry of Public Health\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that as of 16 March 2026, 40 health workers have been killed and 96 injured. These include healthcare workers affiliated with the Islamic Health Association \u2013 a civilian institution affiliated with Hezbollah that provides medical and emergency services across Lebanon in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the Islamic Risala Scout Association, as well as one paramedic from the Lebanese Red Cross. The Ministry also reported that five hospitals had been forced to close.<\/p>\n

In a recent\u00a0statement<\/a>, Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee alleged that ambulances and medical facilities in Lebanon are being used for military purposes. The Lebanese ministry of health\u00a0denied<\/a>\u00a0the claim. The Israeli military had made a similar claim in 2024.<\/p>\n

Amnesty International previously\u00a0investigated<\/a>\u00a0four Israeli attacks on healthcare facilities and medical vehicles that killed 19 healthcare workers and wounded 11 more in a one-week period between 3 and 9 October 2024. The organization did not find indications that the medical facilities or personnel targeted had been used for military purposes or for acts harmful to the enemy and called for the investigation of the attacks as war crimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
