An airstrike attributed to Israel has knocked out electricity to the intensive care ward at Jabal Amel Hospital in southern Lebanon, creating a critical situation for patients requiring life-support systems and emergency care.

The power failure strikes at a particularly vulnerable moment for the medical facility, which serves the southern region. With ICU operations dependent on continuous electrical supply for ventilators, monitoring equipment, and other essential medical devices, the outage poses immediate risks to hospitalized patients in critical condition.

The incident underscores the mounting challenges facing Lebanese healthcare infrastructure amid ongoing military operations in the region.
