Israeli attacks on Lebanon are grave breaches of humanitarian law, says Euro-Med Monitor

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor expressed its deep concern over the serious crimes committed by the Israeli army against civilians in Lebanon, especially in the southern and Bekaa regions, as it escalates its military attacks by launching intensive raids targeting civilians and residential areas. In a statement on Monday, the Euro-Med Monitor emphasized that the Israeli army deliberately denies civilians enough time to escape the areas being bombed, offering them no real protection from the dangers arising from military operations. Instead, Israel randomly and directly targets civilian buildings. "All of the aforementioned Israeli attacks are grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention, the Additional Protocol, and international humanitarian law in general. These treaties require warring parties to always distinguish between civilians and combatants and offer special protection to vulnerable populations like journalists and the elderly, in addition to providing special protection to women and children ," the Euro-Med Euro-Med said.
