Hizbullah Uses Ambulances, Paramedic Uniforms, to Disguise Terrorist Activity, IDF Says
(Jerusalem Post) Tzvi Jasper - The IDF said Monday it struck a Hizbullah cell in southern Lebanon over the weekend that was operating an ambulance while posing as paramedics. Hizbullah systematically uses ambulances to transfer weapons across the country, in order to attack Israel and IDF soldiers. The IDF said the incident highlighted Hizbullah's "cynical and systematic use of medical infrastructure and civilians for military purposes. In several recent incidents, Hizbullah has transported and hidden weapons using ambulances in several locations, operated command and control infrastructures from medical facilities, and transported terrorists in the combat zone while violating the special protection afforded to them and deliberately endangering civilian populations."
