The terrorist organization Hezbollah regularly uses medical institutions and equipment, especially ambulances, to conceal terrorist activity.
According to the IDF, the terrorist organization uses vehicles and medical teams as a cover to transport weapons and terrorists, thereby violating the special protection afforded to them under international law.
""The IDF recognizes that the efforts to evacuate the population in southern Lebanon, which were intended to protect civilians, are making it difficult for Hezbollah terrorists to assimilate and move in the area. Therefore, the organization has increased the use of ambulances as a means of moving terrorists between different locations, while disguising their identities," the IDF statement said.

Golani Brigade forces conducted searches in the Cantera area this week, following the elimination of armed terrorists who violated the ceasefire and posed a threat. During the searches, an ambulance was located that the terrorists had used to hide weapons.
The forces located charges, mortars, cartridges and a grenade.
In another incident last month, Brigade 7 forces encountered a terrorist from the Hezbollah terrorist organization, who was operating alongside an ambulance and carrying an RPG weapon. The terrorist fired at the forces and was killed.
After the encounter, weapons were found in the ambulance that the terrorist used to establish himself in the area and conduct "protected" combat from him.
Other footage shows terrorists who survived IDF attacks running away and hiding in the area until an ambulance arrives, which picks them up while they are lying on a stretcher in a body bag and unharmed.
""These documents constitute evidence of the use by the terrorist organization Hezbollah of medical vehicles to exploit their immunity," the IDF says. "The IDF will continue to act in accordance with international law towards medical facilities, even though Hezbollah chooses to use them for military purposes, in flagrant violation of the rules of international law.".
