Israel has carried out hundreds of attacks on Lebanon’s healthcare system since last year, the country’s health minister revealed, as he called on the international community to stop ignoring Israel’s war crimes.

During a press conference Friday, Firas Abyad detailed what he called Israel’s "direct and intentional" attacks on facilities, workers and vehicles.

Abyad said there has been at least 200 attacks on first-aid agencies. There have been 55 attacks on hospitals – 36 of them direct attacks – resulting in eight hospitals being forced to close.

Seven other hospitals are only partially operating.

Five hospitals have ceased operations in southern Lebanon, two in Beirut’s southern suburbs, and one in the Beqaa.
