“Many displaced children, innocent civilians are among those injured in Israeli Defense Force (IDF) airstrikes.”
This is according to the High Representative of the EU Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell. The statement comes during his visit to the Geitaoui Hospital in Beirut, where the innocent civilians in Lebanon are the target of Israeli occupation forces. According to Borrell, three children a day have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon since September.
Speaking on VOC’s PM Drive show, a journalist in Beruit, Sara Talih Matar, said the bombardment is escalating more each day, and the amount of innocent people being killed is growing at an exponential rate.
“The ceasefire talks highlighted 60 days with complicated conditions, so even if the war ends permanently, the conditions are tough and unfair to the Lebanese – these 60 days mean that Lebanese is under the control of the United States (US), and it only ensures the safety of the Israeli occupation since the move disarms resistance in Lebanon,” detailed Matar.
