Israeli attacks on Lebanese health sector should be probed as war crimes: Amnesty

Amnesty International on Wednesday said that Israeli attacks on health centres, ambulances and health workers in Lebanon should be investigated as war crimes. According to Amnesty, “the Israeli military’s repeated unlawful attacks during the war in Lebanon on health facilities, ambulances and health workers, which are protected under international law, must be investigated as war crimes”. It urged the Lebanese government to provide the International Criminal Court with “jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute crimes within the Rome Statute committed on Lebanese territory, and ensure victims’ right to remedy”.
