Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Continue, Killing Hospital Director Amid Diplomatic Attempts for Ceasefire
Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon have resulted in the deaths of Dr. Ali Rakan Allam, the director of Dar al-Amal Hospital, and six staff members. The strikes targeted the hospital director’s residence, prompting international concern, with U.S. President Joe Biden discussing ceasefire efforts with French President Emmanuel Macron. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization reported nearly 230 healthcare workers have been killed in Lebanon since early October. The situation remains tense as airstrikes intensify in southern Beirut and the impact on Gaza hospitals grows due to fuel shortages.
