Israel's multiple bombings of a financial institution in Lebanon were deemed illegal attacks on civilian objects under international humanitarian law by a UN human rights expert. The bank, Al-Qard Al-Hasan, offers small interest-free loans and undertakes charitable activities. The expert stated that attacks on economic infrastructure are illegal, even if they indirectly support military activities. Israel had issued warnings before the attack, claiming that the bank finances Hezbollah. The expert warned that bombing banks blurs the line between civilian objects and military objectives, jeopardizing the right to life.
