British surgeon Dr. Tahir Mohammad has dismissed Israel’s claim that Hezbollah is using ambulances to transport weapons during the ongoing conflict in Lebanon. Speaking to Al Jazeera, he said there is no evidence supporting the allegation and described Israel’s increasing attacks on healthcare workers as part of a long-standing policy. Dr. Mohammad, who has worked in both Lebanon and Gaza, cited incidents where ambulances and aid workers were obstructed while trying to assist victims.

He further stated that in Gaza, video footage showed ambulance workers being killed while rescuing the wounded, calling Israel’s justifications baseless. Expressing anger, he said he had witnessed colleagues in Gaza killed by Israeli weapons and argued that targeting healthcare workers in Lebanon reflects the same continuous policy. According to Lebanon’s Health Ministry, more than a hundred healthcare workers have been killed since Israeli attacks began in March.

Dr. Mohammad accused Israel of attempting to cripple the healthcare system in violation of international law, emphasizing the humanitarian toll of the ongoing assaults.
