Lebanese Red Cross Makes New Attempt to Recover Bodies from Strike Site

The Lebanese Red Cross is set to send another convoy on Tuesday to Wata al-Khiam in southern Lebanon to recover the bodies of 15 individuals killed in an Israeli airstrike, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA). Two days earlier, paramedics accessed the strike site and removed five bodies but require larger vehicles to clear the remaining debris. The NNA reported that this mission is being coordinated with UNIFIL, the United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, as is standard procedure.

While the Red Cross has not commented directly on the operation, it has voiced concerns recently about Israeli strikes near areas where they have been actively searching for casualties. The Israeli military stated it issued warnings in late October for residents to evacuate due to planned strikes on Hezbollah targets and advised ambulances to avoid the area.
