IDF: Hezbollah seized the government hospital in Tibnin during the war and used it to treat wounded fighters, according to the IDF. The military says the group transferred casualties through its Islamic Health Authority network, diverting medical services from Lebanese civilians and using civilian infrastructure for military purposes.

The IDF warned Hezbollah operatives hiding in hospitals that they remain targets.
