They also claimed Hamas was beheading babies. Still waiting on that evidence.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Joe Biden confirmed it by repeating it over and over again. Why would I need more evidence than that?

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 months ago

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."

[-] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

It was an american president lie too.

[-] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago

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.

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?

I'm scary. What will happen after the US elections?

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 33 points 2 months ago

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).

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 38 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Israelis don't believe it is their land. That's the rub

[-] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] rand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.com 36 points 2 months ago

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

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.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 33 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 30 points 2 months ago

Israel is known for lying about hospitals.

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago

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,

Once again, it’s THEIR FUCKING COUNTRY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THERE

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

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?

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.

[-] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

What's next, schools? Oh, wait. Well, surely not public infra—nevermind. At least kids are safe? No? All right then.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 months ago

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..

[-] anachronist@midwest.social 15 points 2 months ago

Fun fact: Shifa hospital had tunnels under it because Israel built them when they occupied Gaza.

[-] HorseRabbit@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 months ago

Can't believe Hamas had a red barrel room.

Israel appealed to the Lebanese government to confiscate the money

Has the Lebanese government responded to any of these claims? I haven't heard much from the government itself. I've just been assuming they might as well be innocent bystanders praying "oh god not again".
