Hezbollah allegedly uses fire trucks for attacks

Three Lebanese paramedics were killed, and two others were wounded — one critically — in an Israeli attack while they were extinguishing fires in the southern town of Faroun, Lebanon's health ministry reported on Saturday.

According to the ministry's statement, "Israeli forces targeted a team from the Lebanese Civil Defence as they responded to fires sparked by recent Israeli airstrikes."

The statement further specified that the attack struck a fire truck carrying the paramedics. The ministry condemned the incident as a "blatant strike" on an official Lebanese state apparatus, noting that this was the second such attack on an emergency response team in less than 12 hours.

However, according to well-informed sources, the paramedics killed in the attack were reportedly fighters affiliated with Hezbollah, the militant group and political party based in Lebanon.

This claim, if true, could have significant implications, raising questions about the roles and identities of the emergency responders operating in areas affected by the ongoing conflict.
