Israel’s attacks on Beirut have already claimed the lives of more than 2,200 people, while over 1 million have been forced into refugee situations.

The migration authorities of Venezuela reported on Thursday that 38 nationals returned to Venezuelan territory after having been «displaced» by the «attacks of Israeli genocidal zionism» against Lebanon.

“We are delighted to welcome our Venezuelan compatriots who have returned from Lebanon to their homeland, after having been displaced by the attacks of Israeli genocidal Zionism,” said Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil on his Telegram channel.

He added that “today, finally safe, we celebrate his return, as well as the delivery of donations sent by the Bolivarian People and Government to the Lebanese people who are refugees in Syria”.

The official note from the Venezuelan government stresses that the group also includes six Lebanese citizens and all were returned on the same plane that transported 14,000 tons of humanitarian aid offered by Venezuela to this Middle Eastern nation.

It is worth recalling that the Israeli attacks on Beirut have already claimed more than 2,200 lives, while over a million people have been forced to take refuge in other places to escape the violence.

In addition, in this tense context, the Israeli army threatens to attack ambulances in southern Lebanon, claiming that they are used to «transport fighters and weapons». The threat is part of an Israeli occupation pattern that justifies its attacks on civilian infrastructure under the pretext of military threats to its country.
