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.
Remember when they bothered to pretend that Hamas was blowing up their own hospitals because it would obviously be a war crime to target hospitals? I remember that.
They also claimed Hamas was beheading babies. Still waiting on that evidence.
Biden says he saw it, and he would never lie!
Receipts?
Joe Biden confirmed it by repeating it over and over again. Why would I need more evidence than that?
In fairness, IIRC that was an American media lie to onboard the public. All I’ve heard from Israel about it was along the lines of “We don’t know about it, we don’t doubt it could have happened and we won’t investigate.”
It came from IDF propagandists that gave statements to reporters who then repeated it without question. It was repeated and amplified by the White House and eventually Genocide Joe.
It was an american president lie too.
Remember when Israel claimed that there was a multi-story Hamas command center under the Al-Shifa hospital, even sharing an animated rendering of it, and Biden said he believed it “no question in my mind?” The Israelis destroyed the hospital and found nothing but bragged that they found proof in the form of a gun in one of the rooms.
They did also find a calendar in Arabic, which was pretty harrowing. I hope the IDF soldiers involved got intensive therapy for the trauma.
Wait until they find Disney VHS tapes that were officially dubbed in Arabic and insist that it was all codewords for building a nuclear device…
There was a list :)
Oh the calendar? Man that must have been embarrassing.
Remember how that false narrative was believed by virtually every mainstream liberal and the only countervailing voices were the usual (left / local) sources that continue to be dismissed by mainstream liberals?
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?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 done 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).
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.
Israelis don’t believe it is their land. That’s the rub
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.

Um, what? Anyone with Blender experience could do that. Man, this part of the conflict is gonna be a whole fucking thing in the history books. I wish I was more cynical so I could get over the fact that other countries don’t seem to give a shit about the blatant lies and terrorist carnage.
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.
Israel is known for lying about hospitals.

Once again, it’s THEIR FUCKING COUNTRY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THERE
Also even if they are storing large amounts of money… you know where else money is stored? Fucking banks! Can you imagine if the US decided to bomb Canada and targeted RBC and CIBC outlets and even convenience stores (because they gave ATM machines) with the claim that these institutions are financing terrorism because some asshole had an account there?
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
Is crypto hurting you right now?
Does CGI do it to you too?
Yes. Except now it is even more incredible since how the FUCK are they getting away with it! Back then fact checking was much harder and it was much easier to bullshit. Now we have access to unprecedented information and fact checkers and still the same old fucktard tactics work.
There isn’t even a cool off period with this. There was a time not too long ago where they would spout some bullshit that would later turn out to be obvious bullshit… and they would wait several years for people to forget before doing it again. But over here they just turned the entire thing into a ritual where they expect us to fall in line and believe it even they know we know it is shit.
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 won’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.
This is Israel’s setup for bombing a damn hospital. Not that they’ve ever cared about needing an excuse, before.

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…
An animated graphic as evidence to strike a hospital… Where have I heard that before… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pTYHBZVgVQ
Fun fact: Shifa hospital had tunnels under it because Israel built them when they occupied Gaza.
Can’t believe Hamas had a red barrel room.
I mean isn’t that where and how explosives are stored? Especially the ones that just blow on impact? Even if military explosives are specifically formulated NOT to explode from small arms fire?
No.
🤣
Eat shit, Netenyahu.
