Suleiman’s son, Joud, 16, and another volunteer, Ali Jaber, 22, were killed in a March airstrike while wearing their medic uniforms, Suleiman said. The team has lost three medics since the current fighting began in early March, he said.
Despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire last month, Israel and Hezbollah have continued to exchange fire. Last week, Israel launched an airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs.
Across Lebanon, more than 100 medical workers have been killed in the current fighting, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. At least 10 have died since the ceasefire took effect April 17.
