The strike was only the latest in a string of attacks against Lebanese first responders. According to the United Nations, over 100 medical and emergency workers have been killed across Lebanon since last October when Israel’s war on Gaza began, with many of the casualties occurring within the past several weeks.
“Frontline workers, protected under International Humanitarian Law (IHL), are civilians risking their lives to help others and should never be targeted,” said Imran Riza, the U.N. Humanitarian Coordinator for Lebanon, in an October 3 statement. “These attacks disrupt essential services, delay critical care, and violate the right to healthcare, endangering both aid workers and the vulnerable populations they serve.”
The targeting of health care workers and infrastructure is a violation of international humanitarian law codified in the Geneva Conventions, which 195 countries, including Israel, have ratified. (The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
Potentially?
Obviously they walk into our missile/s
Throw it on the war crimes pile, I guess…
“I’ll just put this potentiality over here with the rest of the alleged war crimes.”
Do you think he has a wheel of war crimes? “Come on, biological weapon. Come on, biological weapon! Aww. White phosphorus again.”
This is funny and I hate it.
“Potentially”
I think at this point we can safely say if Israel is doing it is a war crime. The problem is no one is doing anything about it.
All this trauma Israel iand America s causing on these people, and Arab peoples in general. It doesnt just evaporate, there will be a whole lot of paybacks. For generations. And every day they are just doubling down and expanding it. I dont see when theyd ever stop.
Gotta create more terrorists if you want to fight a war on terror.
Potentially?
Outrageous, but sadly not surprising, considering.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It seems the best we can hope for is that their military investigates and finds some folks guilty of breaking the law w.r.t. this…
