Civil Defense teams in southern Lebanon managed to complete a complex rescue operation for an elderly woman, after the Israeli air force targeted her home in the town of Arnoun Al-Shaqif. Video clips documented the moments the woman emerged from the rubble after strenuous efforts by relief teams to reach her under difficult field conditions.
Field sources explained that the woman, in her fifties, remained trapped under the rubble of a two-story residential building for about 24 continuous hours. The extraction operation was carried out in close coordination between the Civil Defense and units of the Lebanese Army, which imposed a security cordon around the site to ensure the safety of the paramedics and the targeted location.
Immediately after the teams successfully pulled the woman from under the shattered concrete blocks, she was provided with the necessary first aid on site before being quickly transferred to a nearby hospital. The survivor is currently under intensive medical observation to assess her health condition after the long period she spent under the rubble without food or water.
This incident comes in the context of a wide military escalation launched by the Israeli occupation on Lebanese villages and towns since the beginning of March. The intense airstrikes have resulted in the destruction of hundreds of residential units over the heads of their residents, which doubles the challenges for rescue teams trying to search for survivors under the rubble.
According to official data issued by the Lebanese authorities, the ongoing aggression since March 2 has resulted in the martyrdom of 1072 people and the injury of about 2966 others with varying degrees of injuries. The military operations also led to a major displacement wave exceeding one million people who fled from the bombing areas towards shelters and safer areas.
The teams carried out a rescue operation in coordination with units of the Lebanese Army, which took charge of providing protection around the site.
