Prime Minister Dr. Nawaf Salam wrote on his account on the X platform:
The targeting of Civil Defense personnel in Majdal Zoun and their martyrdom while carrying out their humanitarian duty is a newly characterized war crime committed by Israel. It constitutes a flagrant violation of the principles and rules of international humanitarian law.
The government will spare no effort to condemn this heinous crime in international forums and to mobilize every effort to compel Israel to stop its ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement.
I extend my sincerest condolences to the families of the martyrs and to the leadership and members of the Civil Defense.
Mercy to our heroic martyrs, and we wish the wounded a speedy recovery.
