“We, in the Islamic Group in Lebanon, deplore and condemn this cowardly and treacherous Israeli aggression, which targeted a group of paramedics, who were carrying out their humanitarian duty, in providing health aid to the people of the Arqoub area. We place this heinous crime in the hands of the humanitarian, human rights, international and Arab institutions,” it added.

The group called for Israel to be held accountable for its attack which amounts to a “war crime.”
