Ali Mouallem has likely seen the video of his ambulance being hit by an Israeli missile hundreds of times now.

But when he showed it once again to a CBC News crew visiting Nabatieh, in south Lebanon, his hands were still shaking.

“Look at what’s in the [ambulance] — the clothes we are wearing, we are only civilians and ambulance teams!” said Mouallem, 26.

“We are doing humanitarian work, far from any politics,” he said, suggesting the video refutes Israeli claims that Lebanese paramedics are helping Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based Shia militant group funded and controlled by Iran.

On April 15, one day before Hezbollah and Israel agreed to a ceasefire, Mouallem and his team found themselves in the most lethal situation any of them had ever faced.

It ended with four paramedics dead.
