TYRE, Lebanon: In a south Lebanon hospital heavily damaged by deadly Israeli strikes nearby, Dr. Nasser Al-Masri held a new-born baby, calling him “a message of life and hope” despite the war.
Israeli strikes near the Jabal Amel hospital in Tyre on Monday killed four people and wounded 127, including four doctors, 27 nurses, and eight administrative employees, Lebanon’s health ministry said.
They also caused “severe and extensive damage” to the facility, it added.
“Despite everything that happened yesterday, there was a scheduled delivery today... (and) the mother insisted on delivering at the hospital,” Dr. Masri said.
“This baby was born today, he’s just a few minutes old... He brought us a message of life and a message of hope for the future.”
