Apologies for modifying the title. The live page has terrible article titles.
The government-run Lebanese Civil Defence emergency service says the five workers were waiting in a makeshift centre in a church hall in the southern town of Derdghaiya when it was hit by an Israeli air strike. We’ve spoken to Father Maurice Khoury, head of the St George’sCatholic parish church there, who says those killed were “a model for humanity and chivalry. They sacrificed their lives for the wellbeing of others”.
Per other linked articles, Israel seems to claim they killed two Hezbollah members, but I haven’t found a single article that contains all the information in one place.
This post from that other place has a purported picture of the damaged church.
If they kill males 18-60 Israel calls them Hamas or Hezbollah. Even if they are workers in a catholic church.
When you’re a hammer everything looks like a nail.
Bold of you to assume that they have a lower cut off at 18
English cutoff is at 18.
There is no cutoff in Hebrew.
They learned it from us. Bush’s War on Peace. Anyone within X feet of a drone strike or bombing was auto designated an “Enemy Combatant”
Uhhh. I still think that was US learning from Israel… Israel doing this shit ain’t new. Ask Rachel Corrie.
The funny thing is the USA actually did distinguish it as “civilian collateral” in their internal reports, which I believe they got mad at Assange for leaking the worst ones.
I kinda doubt Israel is documenting women and children as non combatants when they clearly want everyone dead.
