From the title, you'd think these men were armed and inside the hospital terrorizing people. Turns out one of them was getting treatment there. The Israeli forces that killed those three (who were getting treatment or visiting someone getting treatment) were also dressed as civilians (nurses and doctors)

Truly the most pathetic and most cowardly army in the world.

Hamas claimed one of the dead in Ibn Sina hospital as its member. The allied faction Islamic Jihad claimed the other two, saying they were brothers. Ibn Sina said one of the brothers had been receiving treatment for an injury that paralysed his legs.

No trial, no evidence except that from the Israeli side, just a field execution. No threat from these men whatsoever... and one of them was had a mobility disability too.

Pretty sure killing wounded combatants who have no means of resistance is a war crime. It's even worse since it happened inside a hospital which should be shield from any fighting. Most moral army is acting as a bunch of war criminals as usual.

Sure. We all know that when Israel says militants they mean unarmed children, women and men

Two were confirmed miltants. Problem is that they were there to get medical treatment... Israel could have arrested them and given them a trial, but instead, they chose to shoot them and terrorize and risk the lives of all the patients in the hospital.

Thanks, I saw that, yes. Sorry, I was being cheeky because of the extreme civilian deaths.

No no no, not at all, we have plenty of children Israel killed in the shittiest of ways.

This one has got to be the shittiest I've read in a while: https://english.palinfo.com/news/2024/01/29/313573/

Yesterday:

A 7-year-old girl is still besieged by Israeli tanks in Gaza City inside her family’s vehicle, which was targeted by the Israeli airstrikes about three hours ago, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) revealed on Monday evening.

Everyone inside it (her father and four siblings) has been martyred during the attack, the PRCS said in a tweet.

PRCS teams continued to communicate with the girl to calm her down, especially since the family was fired upon while contacting emergency services for help.

Meanwhile, ambulances are still unable to reach the location, as the Israeli occupation army considers it a closed military zone, targeting anyone attempting to move into the area.

News from today from AlJazeera's live feed:

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says it has lost contact with a team trying to rescue a six-year-old girl trapped in a car for hours after an Israeli attack that killed six of her relatives in Gaza City.

BASICALLY: The most pathetic army in the world.

It truly boggles my mind that people are aware of these inhumane atrocities and will still defend Israel tooth and nail. I know a lot are bots but a lot are also defending Israel of their own accord.

I feel like Israel, the US, Australia, most Europen countries, most so called 'first world nations' are responsible and absolutely complicit in dehumanising Palestinian people, and middle eastern people in general, for decades to the point where they can casually say that Israel should continue to ethnically cleanse and slowly genocide the Palestinians to defend themselves. And they will applaud themselves for saying this. In what fucking world does that make any kind of sense?

Also, these countries casually talking about bombing Yemen for example, like it's a natural phenomenon. What fucking right do they have to go to a region far away from their countries', launch attacks at inhabitants of the region, and have the nerve to say they must defend themselves when these people being attacked retaliate.

Imagine what would happen if any other country sailed around the world to the US or any of these other 'first world' nations, started attacking them because it was important to do so for their 'geopolitical interests in the region'.

It shows how utterly despicable and ethically and morally bankrupt all these countries truly are.

Apologies for the the long rant lol, i feel very strongly on this subject.
