Israeli army drops leaflets threatening hospital in Bint Jbeil
The Israeli military dropped Sunday flyers aiming to intimidate residents in south Lebanon's Bint Jbeil near the border.
The National News Agency published a photograph of one of the alleged leaflets, which bore a warning to residents that Hezbollah operatives were using a hospital in the town.
The health ministry in a statement condemned "in the strongest terms the threats against southern hospitals, and considers them a serious attack and a flagrant violation of international laws and conventions".
Bint Jbeil's Salah Ghandour hospital, which is run by the Hezbollah-affiliated Islamic Health Committee, said in a statement that the leaflets contained "a clear threat to the hospital on flimsy pretexts with no basis in truth", and rejected what it said were attempts to tarnish the facility's image.
The Salah Ghandour hospital's grounds and its vicinity were struck in the 2024 war.
