Israeli army threatens to target ambulances in southern Lebanon

12 October, 2024 20:25

The Israeli army has threatened to target ambulances in southern Lebanon, claiming that they are being used to transport Hezbollah fighters.

Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee on Saturday alleged that “Hezbollah elements are using ambulances to transport fighters and arms.” He did not provide any proof of his accusation.

“We call on medical teams to avoid contact with Hezbollah members and not to cooperate with them,” he said. The Israeli military “affirms that the necessary actions will be taken against any vehicle transporting armed individuals, regardless of its type”.

“For your own protection, do not return to your homes until further notice. Do not go south, anyone who goes south may put his life at risk,” he said.

The Israeli military also ordered residents of 22 southern Lebanese villages to evacuate to areas north of the Awali River.

Meanwhile, Lebanese fighter group Hezbollah has warned Israelis to stay away from Israeli army sites in residential areas in the north of the country.

“The Israeli enemy army uses the homes” of Israelis in north Israel, and has military bases inside residential “neighbourhoods in major occupied cities such as Haifa, Tiberias, Acre,” it said in a statement in Arabic and Hebrew.

It warned Israelis “from being near these military gatherings in order to preserve their lives.”

After almost a year of cross-border fire, Israel has increased its strikes on Hezbollah sites since September 23.
