Israel Strikes Beirut - Targets Civilian Population, again.

Written by Daniel Mercado

The Invasion of Southern Lebanon has entered its second week. This new bombing campaign has been designed to specifically target Civilian infrastructure such as mosques, schools, and roads - all of which are explicitly banned from being targeted by the Geneva Convention and the Treaty of Rome. [1] [2] The IOF stated that they will be choosing to target Ambulances in Southern Lebanon, further showcasing their flippant disrespect of civilian lives.

The IOF Spokesman Avichay Adraee recently made the claim that “Hezbollah elements are using ambulances to transport fighters and arms,” yet the IOF refused to present any evidence supporting the claim, and no evidence has been made public by third party investigators to substantiate the claim. [3]
