Israeli airstrikes cripple 2 major hospitals in Beirut
BEIRUT (AA) – Two major hospitals in Beirut’s southern suburbs are unable to provide service after Israeli forces conducted overnight airstrikes that severely damaged the facilities, a Lebanese medical source said Monday.
The source told Anadolu on the condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media that Saint Therese Hospital and Al Rassoul Al Azam Hospital are both rendered inoperable due to the Israeli airstrikes.
Al Rassoul Al Azam is one of the largest hospitals in the Lebanese capital, the source added.
Israel has been conducting relentless airstrikes since Sept. 23 on what it calls Hezbollah targets across Lebanon.
The aerial campaign is an escalation in a year-long conflict between Israel and Hezbollah since the start of Tel Aviv’s war on Gaza that has killed nearly 41,900 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
Due to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, at least 2,036 people have since been killed, over 9,500 injured, and 1.2 million others displaced, according to Lebanese authorities.
