An international aid agency is calling for Israel to be held accountable for alleged war crimes following attacks on dozens of hospitals and clinics in Lebanon and the deaths of almost 100 healthcare workers. Israel is targetting militant group Hezbollah in what it's called the "new phase" of its war on Gaza following the Hamas led October 7 attacks. According to reports from the United Nations and Medecins sans Frontieres, more than 90 healthcare workers have been killed in military strikes in Lebanon alone; 50 health care facilities damaged and almost 65 medical transports hit. Under international law, health facilities cannot be attacked and the protection extends to patients and medical staff, with only a few exceptions to the rule. Medecins san frontieres or Doctors Without Borders said unless law breakers in war are held to account - there will be more innocent people killed. Simon Eccleshall spoke to Lisa Owen.
