Wounded Hezbollah fighter turns himself in to Israel after receiving first aid in Rmeish
Lebanese Civil Defense personnel in the southern border town of Rmeish on Wednesday provided first aid to a wounded Hezbollah fighter who had crawled to Ain Ebel from Bint Jbeil, the National News Agency said.
"They then contacted the Lebanese Red Cross to transport him to a safe area," NNA added.
Israeli forces in the nearby Lebanese town of Debel meanwhile learned of the wounded man's presence and, via telephone, demanded that the paramedics hand him over, threatening to bomb the ambulance but the paramedics refused, NNA said.
The wounded fighter then decided to walk to Debel to turn himself in, out of concern for the safety of the paramedics and the local residents, despite having lost a significant amount of blood due to his injuries, the agency added.
