"Since early March, 2,586 people have been killed in Lebanon, including 103 health care workers and emergency responders, according to the Lebanese health ministry. It does not distinguish between combatants and civilians." More war crimes to target emergency and health care workers. Will no one ever hold this administration accountable for its constant killing?
