Just 12 hours after murdering four medics in Lebanon, Israel targets and murders three more
Sky News‘ Alex Crawford has reported on yet another targeted attack by Israel against paramedics in Lebanon, in turn emphasising the depths of sinister depravity which Israel is more than willing to sink to.
Showing camera footage which proves how the Zionist Israeli military intentionally kill Lebanese emergency workers, Crawford points out that this horrific murder came 12 hours after another Israeli strike killed four other medics.
The three medics in this video were responding to a father and his daughter who were injured in an Israeli strike, only for a trademark double-tap bomb to be dropped on them – subsequently murdering all three medics alongside the father, his young daughter and another Lebanese civilian.
Once again, Israel proves it has a bloodthirsty agenda against indigenous Arab civilians wherever they are – whilst it continues towards its colonialist, Zionist project of ‘Greater Israel’.
An Israeli strike captured on camera has killed three paramedics in Lebanon. Just 12 hours earlier, four other medics were killed.

Crawford: “You can see the bomb hitting the front of the ambulance” in Lebanon
In her report for Sky News, Alex Crawford highlights the scale at which the Israeli military has killed medics in Lebanon under the direction of Israel’s occupying military. Despite a ceasefire deal in mid-April, Israel has continued to murder Arab people with impunity and, as Crawford says, “no one seems able to stop it”.
Nevertheless, it is worth pointing out this impunity is less about being politically able – and far more about a lack of political will to do anything about it.
Instead, Western leaders have pretty much given Israel a carte-blanche as it continues its genocidal campaigns in the Middle East.
Crawford described the targeted ‘double-tap’ attack captured on camera, saying:
They’re in neon jackets calling the second ambulance in after a father and his young daughter have been hit. As the crew arrives there’s another bomb. When slowed down you can see the bomb hitting the front of the ambulance. The moment of impact is captured by a second camera inside the arriving ambulance.
The two-man crew rushing to help their colleagues and those injured on the road somehow escape for their lives. But now they too are wounded.
All three of their colleagues outside on the street were killed, as well as the father, his young child and a civilian who’d stopped to help. The attacks are devastating the southern communities.
Referring to an 8-year-old child now left without his father, she told of the victims:
Among the three was a photojournalist as well as volunteer medic. His little girl unaware this was the final goodbye to the father killed doing two of the most dangerous jobs in Lebanon right now. The grief here is raw and unfiltered. They’ve had back-to-back funerals for days, and many are convinced the civil defence uniforms they now grip for comfort marked out their loved ones for attack.
Once again, Israel have sought to deny this was a deliberate and targeted attack, telling Crawford that they actually hit two motorbikes belonging to Hezbollah. Crawford, in contrast to most journalists in Western mainstream murder, refuted this baseless defence pointing out that the video directly contradicted their claims.
In response, the IDF is once again left adjudicating their own lawless conduct, stating that it is “examining the claims of uninvolved individuals being harmed”.
Murdered medics is what Israel does
Crawford spoke to local people, who told of their deep pain, suffering and trauma as a result of Israel’s continuous crimes against humanity. Crimes which continue to go on with absolute impunity under corrupted leaders in the West.
The anguish is deep, often inconsolable. But the resolve amongst this band of brothers runs far deeper.
Lebanese paramedic: “We lost like my best friend. Like we are like brothers together all the time together. Like 18 days together every day, every hour. We lost him. But we will say to him we will continue. We will continue.”
Underscoring how little control Lebanese people have over their own territory, freedoms and chance of any semblance of peace, Crawford continued:
To many here, the war has never stopped. The country’s future is now tied to an Iran-US-Israel deal. It’s an absolute insistence by negotiators in Tehran who support the armed group Hezbollah, which is firing rockets into northern Israel.
But historic talks between the Lebanese government and Israel have failed to bring any respite from the killings, and a ceasefire agreed mid-April hasn’t stopped the bombings.
Even graveyards aren’t safe in Lebanon, which are becoming increasingly full with more and more murdered daily:
Even as they’re putting someone to rest, you can see the remnants and the aftermath of what happened in an explosion yesterday. Half the cemetery covered. There are very few places now where people feel safe in South Lebanon.
Even the dead aren’t left undisturbed, and many of these graves are fresh from attacks in the last few days, as well as where whole generations are buried.
Speaking to a Lebanese man visiting the graveyard, Crawford was able to grasp the scale of grief that has become synonymous with living alongside a hostile, murderous state such as Zionist Israel:
Crawford: Do you have anyone that you know around here?
Lebanese man: Grandpa.
Adding:
Grandma. My uncle. My uncle, my uncle, my uncle.
Where is the political will to stop Israel’s widespread murder?
Some Lebanese families are so aware of the high stakes and insecure futures facing their loved ones, as Crawford highlighted when she spoke to Hussein. Whilst sweeping the graves of his relatives, including his wife’s who died last year, he told how he has been a paramedic and worries for the lives of his four paramedic sons.
One of which was due to attend with the crew murdered yesterday:
Some days I don’t sleep. I lost my wife. We lived through the last war. We were displaced and left our home. But the boys stayed here. If one son stays, I don’t have too much of a problem.
But if four of them stay and a strike takes them all, it’s a disaster, a disaster.
