“They want nobody to be left to recover our bodies if we are killed,” says Mariam Ghoul, a southerner displaced to Beirut’s district of Bachoura, which was shaken in the middle of Wednesday night by an Israeli strike targeting a center run by the Islamic Health Organization’s (IHO) Directorate of Civil Defense. This strike in central Beirut represents an expansion of the scope of Israel’s attacks on medics. Seven medics and members of the IHO Civil Defense’s leadership were martyred, as were two people passing by. Two other civil defense personnel and 16 residents and passers-by were reportedly wounded, with four remaining in hospital. According to a statement from the Lebanese Ministry of Health, this tally is liable to increase as DNA testing is conducted on the remains recovered.
