Tyre, Lebanon—The airstrike hit the vicinity of Jabal Amel Hospital on Monday evening. Four people died immediately as the blast impacted the facility’s parking area and nearby buildings.

Medical staff reported over one hundred injuries following the attack. Dozens of those wounded were hospital employees who were on duty when the ordnance detonated.

The facility suffered extensive structural damage. The inpatient department, radiology, and the intensive care unit all sustained heavy impacts, forcing an emergency relocation of critical patients.

One wall of an operating room was breached by the blast. Debris filled the wards, and blood stained the floors as survivors worked to treat the mounting wave of casualties.

Local health officials confirmed the death toll could rise further as search teams navigate the rubble. Many of the staff members remain in critical condition in other regional facilities.

This strike follows a pattern of intense military pressure on the southern region. Displacement orders issued for the area had previously forced thousands to flee, leaving the hospital as a primary lifeline.

Humanitarian organizations have condemned the incident as a failure to respect the medical mission. They warn that the damage has crippled the city’s capacity to handle the current health crisis.

The situation remains dire for the survivors. Hospital management is attempting to maintain essential services while grappling with the loss of their staff and the destruction of equipment.
