When a sentence starts with “Israel says”, lies inevitably follow.
But since they are saying they were “targeting” a “commander”, we already know they probably killed multiple women and children.
How many civilians was killed in the strike?
1 so far, 17 injured.
1 dead, 17 injured. Reported target apparently survived.
So these terrorists are launching missiles across borders into the middle of cities?
NYT - Here’s the latest on the attack in Beirut.
Israeli analysts said Hezbollah was most likely aiming at a nearby army base on Mount Hermon and did not intentionally target the village. But the group’s use of inaccurate rockets in an area dotted with civilian communities could lead to the kind of unintended consequence that risk sparking an all-out war, they said.
Sounds a lot like Israel might be using human shields to protect their base.
