Israeli forces killed 28 health care workers in Lebanon in just the past day, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a press briefing on Thursday. So far, Israeli forces have killed 1,600 people, including over 100 children, in the past two weeks in Lebanon.

Israel has openly adopted attacks on health care as a military practice in its genocide in Gaza — one of many tactics that seemingly violate international wartime law that Israel is now using on Lebanon.

Israel is carrying out intense shelling in Lebanon, killing nearly the same number of people in Lebanon in just 10 days as were killed in the 2006 Lebanon war,

Israel’s violence is also causing a major displacement crisis. (…) at least 1.2 million people across Lebanon, or over a fifth of the population, have been forcibly displaced amid Israel’s attacks.

      This is actually indicative of follow up strikes. A war crime meant to discourage health workers from evacuating wounded after an air or artillery strike. It’s not something that just randomly happens.

    Going forward let’s swap " Nazi" for “Israeli” to describe despicable acts of racist inhumanity.

    Why do the people of Israel never try to riot or protest against these war crimes they commit?
