Like a scene out of a Hollywood movie. Hamas hiding out in hospitals is nothing new, of course.

Another day, another war crime by the IDF.

"But they were enemy militants!"

Still a war crime.

In case people missed it, this war crime occurred in the West Bank, not Gaza. You have to give Israel credit for thinking of uniquely new ways to commit crimes against humanity, I guess.

19 ( +35 / -16 )

This occurred in Jordan???

Oh wait, that's right. Israel stole that land from Jordan ages ago.

Crimes on top of other crimes.

All class, Israel, eh?

13 ( +29 / -16 )

Watch the video - no exchange of gunfire. It was multiple summary executions of unarmed people and doctors. Savage stuff from the Israelis. Disguising themselves as medical staff is a war crime, on top of the brutality in a hospital, which is not in Gaza, but in the occupied Palestinian areas.

Pretty disingenuous to portray unarmed people receiving medical attention as "militants hiding in hospital".

11 ( +24 / -13 )

Well, if the Israeli government assassins can disguise themselves as medical staff, sneak into a West Bank hospital and murder people, what other things could they also do?

Disguise themselves as Hamas militants and decapitate babies? Attack a US base in Syria with a drone and claim it was Iran?

Destroy Hamas..

But don't kill innocent civilians..

They mean business. I’d hate to be on their hit list.

This comment says it all. Why even talking to the Hamas apologists is futile. No wonder Israel just gets on with the job and doesn’t even comment on their detractors. They don’t deserve the audience. Drunk and blind on their own perceived moral high ground and low resolution notions of reality.

More war crimes to add to the list? Nice. And they'll get away with it too, because - eternal victim.

Occupiers have no moral compass, no limit to achieve their goal. They don't care someone who need medical attention.

It doesn't matter if those are elderly.

And also children.

Doesn't surprise me. The IDF is subhuman.

They’re really slick, aren’t they?! It’s just like in that movie “Munich”.

This is Ben Gvir's specialty, minister of security. I expect to see him behind bars in the Hague one day, along with Netahyahu.

, let me remind you this raid happened in the West Bank where there is NO Hamas

Im sorry Aly, but that just isn't true. Hamas confirmed that one of the men killed was a a member.

Still, that doesn't forgive this kind of operation. Apparently the men were executed as the slept.

I stand corrected .

War crime. I have to admit the mental gymnastics the Israelis pull to be both aggressor and victim at the same time is quite impressive.

But in reality Israel and the IDF are truly disgusting. I will always have a position that war is human nature and can be necessary in many instances but what they are doing is genocide supported by the worlds most powerful governments. #FreePalestine

“We will not end this war without achieving all of our goals..." So far with all the dead and suffering, Netanyahu has yet to achieve any of his goals. The freed hostages was a result of negotiations not the IDF liberating them, instead the IDF killed hostages. Wipe out Hamas, so far I don't see that either. He's trying so hard to stay out of jail on his corruption charges....Israelis need to wake up and get this butcher and his ilk out of office. All of this does not happen in a vacuum, it will come back and bite you in the worst way possible.

What exactly is the crime here?

-10 ( +6 / -16 )

Another brilliant, humanitarian success by Israel.

Arab terrorists blow up hospitals. Israel strategically uses precise strikes on their targets.

Oh, and of course Palestinian Arab authorities lie again:

The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli forces opened fire inside the Ibn Sina Hospital in the West Bank town of Jenin.

Hmm, let's check if that is true because opening fire inside a hospital is a bad thing:

A hospital spokesperson said there was no exchange of fire, indicating it was a targeted killing.

So the hospital spokesperson in a West Bank hospital contradicts the Palestinian Health Ministry.

-14 ( +6 / -20 )

"But they were enemy militants!"

Still a war crime.

Agreed that terrorists using hospitals as hideouts is a war crime.

Need any more proof that the Arab extremist terrorists use civilians as human shields?

Exactly.

The IDF's definition of a militant includes kids throwing rocks at tanks. Were the militants serial rock throwers? No surprise the IDF didn't provide evidence.

Agreed that terrorists using hospitals as hideouts is a war crime.

Receiving medical care is not a war crime, and hospitals treating combatants retain their protected status.

Perfidy, on the other hand, is a war crime. A crime that Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of committing.

Extrajudicial killings are also a war crime.

What else?...

The desecration of graves is a war crime.

The blocking of humanitarian aid is a war crime.

Attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, historical monuments is a war crime.

The unnecessary destruction of civilian property is a war crime.

Attacks against medical staff and journalists is a war crime.

The indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians is a war crime.

Who said they were receiving medical care? The Palestinian Health Ministry that was instantly caught lying trying to say Israel opened fire in the hospital?

Perfidy, on the other hand, is a war crime. A crime that Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of committing.

Like Hamas dressing up as IDF on October 7 and murdering children, women, the elderly?

Extrajudicial killings are also a war crime.

Thankfully this took place on Israeli soil in Judea and Samaria.

The desecration of graves is a war crime.

Unless it concealing a military compound.

The terrorist supporters here are running out of excuses.

Again, a brilliant move by Israel.

Congratulations on another successful humanitarian, international law compliant defensive act.

Who said they were receiving medical care?

Who said they were militants?

3 ( +10 / -7 )

The Palestinian Health Ministry that was instantly caught lying trying to say Israel opened fire in the hospital?

They did open fire. The hospital director described how they were killed with silenced pistols whilst they slept. There was no 'exchange of fire' which would require shooting by both parties. Unsurprising when the three targets were sleeping.

Like Hamas dressing up as IDF on October 7 and murdering children, women, the elderly?

Hamas definitely committed war crimes. I wasnt aware that they wore IDF uniforms though. Did they also steal IDF helicopters, and IDF tanks to open fire on Israeli civilians?

Thankfully this took place on Israeli soil in Judea and Samaria.

Extrajudicial killings are legal in Israel?

Unless it concealing a military compound.

Which there is no evidence of. CNN debunked this claim big time.

Provide a link of a court case since October 7 where Israel was convicted of any of the above.

Has Hamas been convicted?

0 ( +6 / -6 )

Both sides are guilty of war crimes. BOTH SIDES

("Wikipedia is edited by Hamas in 3,2...")

One can commit a crime without being convicted.

The UN has grounds to believe Israel is committing genocide...thats not good.

The "but Billy did it too " is not a defence in any Court.

Shouldn't "the most moral Army in the world " {lol} be held to a higher account than so called terrorists.?

8 ( +14 / -6 )

Well done, Israeli forces! And good hunting!

-6 ( +8 / -14 )

Hamas will pay dearly for its barbaric outrages. The “progressives” and the corrupt UN won’t stop it.

-6 ( +8 / -14 )

At this point people are just making it too obvious they support Hamas

Before people were upset Israel was using bombs to kill Hamas

Now when Israel sends in troops to kill Hamas with 0 civilian casualties people are still upset

The masks are coming off

-9 ( +5 / -14 )

Again, a beautifully executed mission by Israel.

Of course the Arab terrorists, if they ever recovered from their supposed injuries in the hospital, would have been snuck out of there (or used a tunnel beneath the hospital) and escaped.

So it was a lie the Israeli operatives opened fire and shot those 3 guys in the hospital?

Yes, they did not open fire; it was a controlled shooting it close fire.

You have a problem with terrorists being eliminated?

Great job Israel!!

-9 ( +5 / -14 )

Israel's military said the militants were using the hospital as a hideout, without providing evidence.

Except for the evidence that the Hamas terrorists were in the hospital, hiding out.

-7 ( +6 / -13 )

We can condemn both the October 7 attack and the way Israel responded since then.

There are plenty of people in this comments section and around the world who think Hamas’ actions on Oct. 7th were entirely justified. You know that.

-4 ( +6 / -10 )

Nope, being against the IDF killing spree in Gaza and being pro Hamas are two different things dude. We can condemn both the October 7 attack and the way Israel responded since then. You know that.

So you are anti-Arab terrorists, and pro-Israel's right to respond, correct?

You just think Israel should respond differently?

-7 ( +5 / -12 )

Terrorism and a war crime by any other name.Their 75 yr-old mask of victimhood given by their Western allies is no longer fit for purpose and has fallen on the blood-soaked soil of Gaza. Every Israeli accusation is a confession. Let them kvetch at the moon - the world has heard enough.
