Original framing: “Lebanon: Israeli air strikes on al-Qard al-Hassan financial institution must be investigated as war crimes” — Amnesty International
The targeting of al-Qard al-Hassan may be seen as a violation of international humanitarian law, which prohibits attacks on civilian infrastructure and financial institutions. Amnesty International's call for investigation highlights the need for accountability in the conflict.
The Israeli military's targeting of al-Qard al-Hassan financial institution raises concerns of war crimes and exacerbates Lebanon's economic instability.
