I agree that if it is confirmed that these are primarily used by civilian ambulance crews, that would make a big difference. Of course, this isn't what the LA Times actually reported, but I'm not sure what "civil defense crews and administrators affiliated with Hezbollah" actually means on the ground.

This is a good point. The LA Times does not report incidents involving ambulances other than in the first half of the sentence that you quoted:

>They are not usually used by fighters, but by ambulance and civil defense crews and administrators affiliated with Hezbollah.

And the report of a video of an ambulance exploding

> Video from a funeral ceremony in the country’s south depicted an explosion inside an ambulance, leading bystanders to run away in panic.

So someone extrapolated one video to making an “usually” argument? Without a source or data this is poor journalism
