Israeli strike kills 12 healthcare workers in southern Lebanon

Israel are the gold medalists of murdering innocent civilians, healthcare workers, and journalists.

From the article in The Guardian: >Israel killed 12 medical workers in a strike on a medical centre in south Lebanon on Friday night, bringing the toll of healthcare staff killed in the country by Israel to 31 over the past 12 days. >A primary healthcare facility in the town of Burj Qalaouiyah was hit by an Israeli strike late on Friday, setting it ablaze and causing the structure to collapse on top of the staff inside. The strike killed doctors, paramedics and nurses on duty, according to the Lebanese ministry of health, which said it “violated all international humanitarian laws” in a statement. >Human rights groups have said that any attacks on medical workers are a war crime, regardless of their political affiliation. >Commenting on the deaths of the 12 medical workers and two paramedics killed earlier in the day in an attack on a health facility in Al Sowana, the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said: “The killings in the last 24 hours of 14 health workers in southern Lebanon mark a tragic development in the escalating Middle East crisis.” >Israel has carried out at least 37 attacks against healthcare workers and facilities in Lebanon, including against the state civil defence and Lebanese Red Cross, since the current hostilities began, Lebanese authorities said.

"First they came for the Gazans..."

Israel and bombing schools and hospitals, name a more iconic duo

If this was Russia, how would it be reported in the news? Who would be condemning it 24/7? Now observe the difference here. This tells you who are the hypocrites. Never believe anything they say.

Israelis consider this bonus points.

Just ethnic cleansing that our president helps with

Isn’t targeting healthcare workers against something in the Geneva Convention?!?!

Israel and war crimes. Name a more iconic duo

Remember when when they literally executed a medical convoy. Pepperridge Farm remembers

Israel targets healthcare workers, journalists and even children and we've known this for over two years

I'm sure they will say all the 12 healthcare workers are part of Hezbollah

seems the enjoy hitting that type of target don’t they?

We need to cut of all military aid to Israel permanently. See how violent and aggressive they are when they’re on their own with the outcome.

It’s almost like war crimes and rampant corruption are ok now. I f****** hate this planet.

this is their doctrine, not sure if/why anyone's surprised anymore.

That’s what they are the best at doing.

If not for the existence of Israel, we would not be at war with Iran. Seems like there’s been one catalyst for our involvements and conflicts in the Middle East as of late, and that one catalyst doesn’t seem like it’s worth defending.

Let me guess, lebanese doctors are “khezbollah” ?

Well when there are no consequences for war crimes…

Every country should exit the UN at this point, wasted money

How long will we fund this?

Its only warcrime if victims are white

The “The “Kamala doesn’t support Gaza enough“ crowd are awful quiet.” crowd continue to be gleeful.

I’m sure Jill Stein will have something to say about this.

Many may be unfamiliar Hezbollah. Milestones in Hezbollah’s History https://www.cfr.org/backgrounders/what-hezbollah A timeline showing milestones in Hezbollah’s history. 1943: After twenty-three years as a French mandate, Lebanon gains independence. Its new leaders sign the National Pact, which creates a government system dividing power among the major religious groups. 1971: The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) relocates its headquarters from Jordan to Lebanon. 1975–1990: Lebanon’s civil war rages as the country’s religious, political, and ethnic sects vie for control, leading to invasions by Israel and Syria and the involvement of the United States and other Western forces, as well as the United Nations. 1983: In April, Beirut’s U.S. embassy is bombed, killing 63 people. In October, suicide attacks on barracks housing U.S. and French troops kill 305 people. A U.S. court decides Hezbollah is behind the attacks. 1984: A car bombing attributed to Hezbollah kills dozens of people at the U.S. embassy annex in Beirut. 1985: Hezbollah releases its first manifesto. 1989: Lebanon’s parliamentarians meet in Taif, Saudi Arabia, and sign an agreement to end the civil war and grant Syria guardianship over Lebanon. The agreement also orders all militias except for Hezbollah to disarm. 1992: In March, the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires is bombed in an attack attributed to Hezbollah. Later this year, Hassan Nasrallah becomes Hezbollah’s secretary-general after Israeli forces assassinate his predecessor. Hezbollah wins eight seats in Parliament after participating in national elections for the first time. 1994: Car bombings at Israel’s London embassy and a Buenos Aires Jewish community center are attributed to Hezbollah. 1997: The United States designates Hezbollah a foreign terrorist organization. 2005: Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri is assassinated. His death, attributed to Syria, kick-starts the Cedar Revolution. A UN tribunal later implicates Hezbollah in Hariri’s death. 2006: Hezbollah abducts two Israeli soldiers, sparking a monthlong war with Israel that leaves more than one thousand Lebanese and fifty Israelis dead. 2009: Hezbollah releases an updated manifesto that expresses more openness to the democratic process. 2011: Syria descends into civil war. Hezbollah eventually sends thousands of fighters to support Bashar al-Assad’s regime. 2012: A suicide bombing targeting a bus carrying Israeli tourists in Bulgaria kills six people.

Prime Minister Saad Hariri resigns. 2020: Hezbollah vows revenge after a U.S. drone strike kills Iranian Quds Force commander Qasem Solemaini. Later this year, a top judge begins investigating officials tied to Hezbollah in relation to explosions at a Beirut port that kill hundreds. 2023: Hezbollah launches attacks across the Israel-Lebanon border in a show of support for Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. Hezbollah and Israel trade attacks at the border well into 2024, raising fears that Lebanon will be dragged into a full-scale war. 2024: Israel kills longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an air strike. This follows a series of strikes that kill other leaders and an attack triggering explosions in pagers used by the group's members that results in thousands wounded. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounders/what-hezbollah

The “Kamala doesn’t support Gaza enough” crowd are awful quiet. 

If Lebanon dealt with Hizbullah, Israel.wouldnt have to... Stop the rockets and the attacks would stop. Its quite simple.

So? If Hezbollah did not start firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel these healthcare workers would still be alive.

Israel is ending Ramadan with a bang
