Oxfam Cymru has warned that Israeli forces are using tactics seen in Gaza in their latest military operations in Lebanon, including the destruction of water infrastructure, and has urged Welsh leaders to continue speaking out. The destruction has extended beyond water systems, with electricity networks and bridges also hit, cutting off services to entire communities. “It’s clear that the Israeli forces are repeating the same pattern in Lebanon as they did in Gaza,” he said. “The impunity Israel enjoyed in Gaza as it committed water war crimes is again on full display,” he said. The charity warned that continued attacks could have long-term consequences for communities, particularly if damaged systems are not repaired before displaced residents return.
