Daily funeral processions in Lebanon wind through streets hit by ongoing Israeli bombings despite a ceasefire deal. Those mourned are increasingly medics and first responders killed while helping people caught in attacks. The Lebanese government says they are being deliberately targeted, calling it “double taps,” and a specific incident is described as being caught on camera.
The footage begins after medics arrive at the first attack. Medics in neon jackets call for a second ambulance after a father and his young daughter are hit. As the crew arrives, another bomb strikes the front of the ambulance, with the moment of impact captured by a camera inside the arriving vehicle. Two members of a two-man crew who rush to help escape with their lives but are wounded. Three colleagues outside on the street are killed, along with the father and child, and a civilian who stopped to help.
The attacks are said to be devastating southern communities. One boy, Hamza, is eight and wearing an emergency jacket that leads to his father’s killing. Another son is left without his father. The transcript notes that among the killed were a photojournalist and a volunteer medic, describing both roles as among the most dangerous jobs in Lebanon. Families hold back-to-back funerals and some people believe the civil defense uniforms of the loved ones marked them out for attack. The Israeli military is said to have offered no credible explanation when asked why first responders were attacked. The military states it hit two Hezbollah motorbikes one after the other, but does not explain why the video appears to contradict that. The military also says it is examining claims that uninvolved individuals were harmed.
The transcript includes additional voices describing grief and brotherhood among the killed and vows to continue. It also ties the continuing violence to broader negotiations, saying the country’s future is tied to an Iran–US–Israel deal, with negotiators in Tehran supporting Hezbollah, which is firing rockets into Northern Israel. It adds that historic talks between the Lebanese government and Israel failed to bring respite, and that the ceasefire agreed mid-April has not stopped bombings.
In South Lebanon, many residents leave and those who stay do so because they cannot plan for a future while their past is still there. A paramedic named Hussein is shown sweeping damaged graves, including his wife’s, who died last year. Hussein has four sons, all paramedics, and worries about their safety; his youngest was supposed to join the crews that were killed but stayed because his father begged him to remain. Hussein describes the “second ambulance” attack as being clear that medics and civilian rescuers are targeted despite having no weapons. He says some days he does not sleep, having lived through the last war and displacement, and he fears more losses among his sons.
