Iran’s medical team arrives in Lebanon to assist victims of Israeli terrorist attacks
A medical relief delegation from the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) has arrived in Lebanon to assist the victims of the Israeli regime’s recent deadly terrorist attack in the Arab country.
Head of IRCS, Pirhossein Kolivand, along with the relief team which included 12 doctors, 12 nurses and paramedics, arrived in Lebanon on Wednesday, to help in the treatment process of those injured in the terrorist attack.
Kolivand said a significant number of wounded people who need more serious medical and health services will be transferred to the Iranian capital, Tehran.
He noted that the decision to send a medical team to Lebanon was made following an emergency meeting of the IRCS on the incident.
On Tuesday, at least 12 people were killed and 3,000 others injured in Lebanon after wireless communication devices, known as pagers, exploded in different locations across Lebanon.
Based on preliminary investigation, officials were quoted as saying that the blasts appear to have been caused by an attack orchestrated by the Israeli regime amid heightened tensions.
Following the terrorist attack, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the Islamic Republic was ready to provide any necessary assistance for the treatment of the injured or their transfer to Tehran for medical care.
Iranian Health Minister Mohammad Reza Zafarghandi spoke with his Lebanese counterpart after the pager explosions, reiterating Iran's readiness to send medical aid to Lebanon.
Israel has been regularly exchanging fire with Hezbollah since last October, shortly after the regime launched its genocidal war on Gaza after the Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm in retaliation for the relentless atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Experts believe the Israeli regime, after being militarily defeated, is resorting to desperate attacks against ordinary people in both Lebanon and Gaza, which will only hasten its demise.
More than 41,200 Palestinians have been killed by the occupying regime in the besieged Gaza Strip in the past 11 months, most of them children and women.
