“An Israeli strike on an emergency and relief centre” in south Lebanon’s Habariyeh on March 27 “killed seven emergency and relief volunteers” and “was an unlawful attack on civilians that failed to take all necessary precautions”, HRW said in a statement. Jamaa Islamiya later denied it was connected to the emergency responders, and the rescue group told AFP it had no affiliation with any Lebanese political organisation.HRW said that “the Israeli military’s admission” it had targeted the centre in Habariyeh indicated a “failure to take all feasible precautions to verify that the target was military and avoid loss of civilian life... making the strike unlawful”.
However, it noted that social media content suggested at least two of those killed “may have been supporters” of Jamaa Islamiya.
