IDF uncovers Hezbollah arsenal stashed inside southern Lebanon school

File a complaint at hezbollah.org **;-)**

That's what I read all the time on Listnook. Or that it simply was purely a school with kids and books. Similar story with "hospitals".

Commandeering an abandoned building is pretty typical in war. The issue arrises if you continue to allow children to attend the school while stationing troops and supplies there. Ukraine has used abandoned school buildings as barracks. It’s not an issue because they aren’t having children attend classes at the same time. This isn’t a new phenomenon and has been done since before the advent of long range artillery and aerial bombardment. Hospital ships have been converted into floating barracks, they have to repaint them so they are not hospital-ship white but once you do that it’s not an issue anymore.

Most people are uncomfortable with shades of grey. There has to be a purely good and an entirely evil side to put our anxious brains to rest. Leaving us detached from reality which just has many different morally complicated factions.

Listnook is the only place where "western" people hate "western" people and side with others.

Purfidy is a war crime under the Geneva convention, additional protocol 1, article 37. It is illegal to fane protective status by embedding military assets inside civilian infrastructure.

It is a war crime, specifically perfidy, and as a result the school loses its protected status.

It’s literally both, for that exact reason. It’s literally considered perfidy (under IHL) to abuse protective status in this manner, the same way that feigning surrender or falsely using UN/Red Cross emblems in furtherance of your military objectives is.

But if they stash weapons there and still have kids continue to attend?

Lol what a cope. Imagine saying using civilians as human shields isnt a war crime

Hotels aren't inherently considered civilian objects the way hospitals and schools are, but it can still be a war crime in certain circumstances. To qualify as perfidy they would have to be attempting to disguise the troops or their activities in the hotel as purely civilian, and then stage attacks or otherwise conduct military operations out of the hotel. If the hotel is solely used as evacuated lodging, it would not meet the standards of perfidy. To qualify as using human shields the hotel would need to still be occupied by civilians unaffiliated to the war objectives, and the group placing the troops there would need to be aware that an attack on the structure, as a result of the troops housed there, was imminent or at least likely. Even if there was a civilian presence, yet no war crime to house troops there, it would still not likely be a war crime to attack the hotel, however. As long as the hotel is being struck in an attempt to kill the housed troops, without a specific attempt to also kill the civilians, and the benefit of eliminating the troops there subjectively outweighs the harm to the civilian population, the attack would meet all the requirements under the Geneva convention. Specifically the standards of distinction, proportionality, and military necessity.

They've stopped pretending and are now at the don't care as long as it hurts Israel phase

They did that with air support from Russia.

Add Hamas to the list as well

Pregnant Doctors Without Borders for IRGC

Feminists for Hezbollah

Ironically enough, that included killing Palestinian refugees within Syria. But pro-pallies tend to gloss over that.

Those people are the reason why everyone thinks the left is crazy and lump us all in the same bunch. Israel could be wrong on multiple fronts but we cannot d******* the Islamic-terrorism that's plaguing the globe

People prefer binary thinking i.e. my camp vs your camp, because it's mentally easier and doesn't force you to admit that life is complex.

Except screaming “grrr it’s an Israeli lie!” With no evidence of it whatsoever isn’t critical thinking and it’s not “criticism.” It’s just reactionary BS

Do you see points for this view? I subscribe to your general criticism of Israel"s government, but since Hizbollah is founded by the terrorists in Teheran I still tend to place the majority of my bets on the Osraelis.

If I have to give the benefit of the doubt, I would choose IDF over Hezbollah any day. It's that simple.

Imagine you're Israel: How do you do justify sitting on your hands while Hezbollah's bombing your cities? So instead of it being Israel's problem it's Lebanon's problem

>How do you justify displacing 1m Lebanese, killing 2k, injuring 7k? By blaming a terrorist organization? How do you fight terrorist organization which is mixed with civilians?

A large majority of the 2,000 people killed were Hezbollah members. You don’t even have to believe Israel about that. If you look at the numbers Lebanon is putting out, the male/female disparity confirms it. This is an example of part of the problem with this conflict. The media is always looking for ways to spin it as whoever Israel is fighting is a poor innocent victim. So any facts that undermine that—like that Hezbollah started this war and that the majority of deaths were combatants—just get ignored.

Just curious… what would you have Israel do when Hezbollah continues to cause millions of Israelis to be displaced and/or fleeing to bomb shelters constantly? Negotiate a peace deal with Lebanese government? They tried that, didn’t work. Have the UN peacekeepers be a “buffer”? They tried that, didn’t work. Specifically target their leadership? They tried that, didn’t work.

Well that would be the sporting thing to do.

I want to start by saying that Hezbollah is 100% a terrorist organizarion and I don't doubt they stockpile their weapons in schools and hospitals, because that's what terrorists do, but maybe Israel could invite Reuters or international reporters to cover stuff like this instead of killing them. Offer protection to the reporters and let them show everything to the world, instead of acting like terrorist themselves and bombing news crews.

No, of course not… because Al Jazeera isn’t allowed to operate in any area under direct Israeli control.

Also proving useful in Ukraine for shooting down fpv drones.

So maybe it's the olympic team training center that they captured? Seriously if i were arming a militia the only reason I would opt for shotguns is that I could find absolutely no other weapons available. That might be the case here, or I am assuming good sense which might be incorrect. TBH it could also mean that I don't know what I'm talking about - always a good chance.

The entire reason setting up bases/weapon depos in schools and hospitals are war crimes is because it pretty much forces the enemy to bomb/attack them.......

It's striking how even when faced with evidence that this school was used for military purposes you would say that.

Hezbollah is a terrorist organization.   Do you deny that Netanyahu is wanted by ICC for war crimes?

Statements by the IDF do not serve as evidence, there's no 3rd party to verify what these butchers claim is even factual. Glad I could help, lol
