Israel has accused Hezbollah of keeping hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and gold in a bunker under a hospital in the southern suburbs of Beirut, though it said it would not strike the complex.
The Sahel hospital in Dahiyeh was evacuated shortly afterwards, and Fadi Alame, its director, told Reuters that the allegations were untrue.
Israel did not provide evidence for its claim that cash was being kept under the hospital. Instead, it published an animated graphic that purported to show a bunker under the hospital and said it had previously been used to hide the former secretary general of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.
This is Israel’s setup for bombing a damn hospital. Not that they’ve ever cared about needing an excuse, before.
An animated graphic as evidence to strike a hospital… Where have I heard that before… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pTYHBZVgVQ
Can’t believe Hamas had a red barrel room.
🤣
Airstrikes began about an hour later, with strong explosions heard across the Beirut area. One of the strikes hit just in front of the entrance of the Rafik Hariri university hospital, the largest public hospital in Lebanon. At least four people including a child were killed and 24 injured in the strike, and the hospital suffered “major damage” from the blast.
The initial casualty count was expected to rise as first responders continued digging through the rubble for people. A picture of the building struck in front of Rafik Hairi hospital showed a man covered in blood lying lifeless in a bombed-out building.
Israel can’t stop targeting hospitals
What’s next, schools? Oh, wait. Well, surely not public infra—nevermind. At least kids are safe? No? All right then.
Is this what the 1930s were like?
More or less, minus the CGI.
Reminds me of Gliwice provocation, also with the level of idiocy and/or nazism required to believe it.
And Bitcoin
Wasn’t there that Gazan hospital that they occupied and destroyed and claimed it was legitimate target, because they found box cutters and binoculars? Tools that were totally used by Hamas soldiers hiding under the Hospital…
You know how the saying goes
“you run into a jerk, that jerk is likely the jerk. Run into many jerks, and you might just be the jerk”
I always heard it as:
If everyone you meet is an asshole, you’re probably the asshole…
I legit had to check whether this was The Onion. This is such an absurd thing to announce it seems like a parody of their actions.
What a strange thing to announce. Everything Israel says is a lie, but even still, so what if Hezbollah does store it there? I don’t understand why anyone is supposed to care how or where Hezbollah might store cash & gold on their own lands.
The goal is not really to kill civilians or even to harm Hezbollah. The goal is to destroy vital services to further destabilize the country.
Israelis don’t believe it is their land. That’s the rub
Another Al Shifa. Magazines next to MRI machine. Terrorists calendar.
We know all the tricks.I’m scary. What will happen after the US elections?
Full invasion? Next Gaza?Israel is known for lying about hospitals.
I’d be nervous if I was a worker or patient in that hospital right now…
There is a word for it when it was deliberate by someone to instill this… What was it again…
Oh yeah.
Terrorism!
That’s why they evacuated it, they know Israel would bomb it. They’ve targeted hospitals and abundances in Lebanon before (and Gaza as well, of course).
I saw this episode of Geraldo.
Who do you think put it there? 🤔
