The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor voiced deep concern over Israeli occupation army's escalated military attacks against civilians in Lebanon, particularly in the South and Bekaa regions.In a statement on Monday, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said that the occupation 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, including the buildings of surrounding hospitals and schools.It added that all 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 Lebanese Health Ministry had announced that the death toll from the Israeli aggression on southern and eastern Lebanon rose to 492 and that 1,645 people have been injured.
