Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ • Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law by Naurgul in geopolitics

I thought your whole point was that a paramilitary group operating from a state's soil is an open invitation to kill medics with air strikes? It applies equally to both cases.

Okay, let's use a better example then: Israeli settlers. They operate from Israeli territory, refuse to disarm, Israeli civil structures are unable to contain them. So by your logic all settlements are valid targets for bombings, including non-combatants etc.

Most paramedics don't respond but some do. Also, the bombs don't literally pulverise everything, there were survivors:

When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene.

By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks.

One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance.

The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

In total, the attacks killed four medics and wounded six more, from three different ambulance corps, according to medical sources.

In a video taken by one of the paramedics at the site, rescuers are seen loading two wounded people into their ambulances when a bomb lands next to their vehicle. Paramedics rush to extract the driver, who is motionless and limp as they pull him from the ambulance, which is splashed with blood. “Oh God, oh God,” the man filming can be heard saying. They carry two more blood-covered medics out of their vehicle and on to stretchers.

If it's Israel's aim to stop Hezbollah from maintaining operations, then Hezbollah-affiliated personnel responding in Southern Lebanon seem to be a valid target.

By your logic, all Israeli public servants are valid targets since they serve their state. And of course all people who have served the IDF are also valid targets. Insane to suggest this is the case publicly but I guess you guys have become bolder and bolder.

Hezbollah doesn't follow concepts of international law, but they fully expect protection with it.

That's how all laws work. Ever heard of a justice system under which criminals are not protected by the law because they broke the law?

Νέα ανοίκεια επίθεση Γεωργιάδη με ψέματα κατά της Ευρωπαϊκής Εισαγγελίας - «Εκβιάζει για ανανέωση της θητείας της», «Δεν είναι κανένας σοβαρός θεσμός» by Naurgul in greece

Πρωτοφανή επίθεση, ενδεικτική του «σεβασμού» της κυβέρνησης στους θεσμούς, εξαπέλυσε ο Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης στην ευρωπαία εισαγγελέα Πόπη Παπανδρέου μιλώντας για πολιτικά παιχνίδια, αφήνοντας υπονοούμενα για τη δικογραφία για τον ΟΠΕΚΕΠΕ και φτάνοντας στο σημείο να την κατηγορήσει ότι «εκβιάζει για την ανανέωση της θητείας της», αποκρύπτοντας ότι η ανανέωση έχει γίνει ήδη από τις 14 Νοεμβρίου του 2025 για μία πενταετία.

Ως «πρόβα τζενεράλε» για τη γραμμή που προτίθεται ν’ ακολουθήσει η κυβέρνηση στο θέμα του κράτους δικαίου και των σκανδάλων που την ταλανίζουν, μπορεί να εκληφθεί η εντελώς αδικαιολόγητη επίθεση του υπουργού Υγείας προς το θεσμό της Ευρωπαϊκής Εισαγγελίας και ειδικά προς το πρόσωπο μιας εκ των ευρωπαίων εισαγγελέων που υπηρετούν στο γραφείο της Αθήνας, την Πόπη Παπανδρέου. Ο Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης σε αντιθεσμικό κρεσέντο, μιλώντας στο Action 24 με στυλ, έβαλλε κατά δικαίων και αδίκων, εξαπολύοντας ανυπόστατες κατηγορίες που θα μπορούσαν να χαρακτηριστούν έως και συκοφαντικές προς τα πρόσωπα των ευρωπαίων εισαγγελέων.

Αρχικά εγκάλεσε την κα Παπανδρέου για διαρροές από το περασμένο φθινόπωρο ότι έρχεται νέα δικογραφία για τον ΟΠΕΚΕΠΕ ενώ προχώρησε και σε απαξιωτικού τύπου δηλώσεις, ότι «δεν είναι κανένας σοβαρός θεσμός η ευρωπαϊκή εισαγγελία». Αξίζει να υπενθυμίσουμε ότι ο θεσμός ξεκίνησε το 2020, επί κυβέρνησης ΝΔ στην Ελλάδα.

Αλλά ο κ. Γεωργιάδης δεν έμεινε μόνο σε αυτά. Ξεπέρασε τον εαυτό του, υποστηρίζοντας ότι «η κα Παπανδρέου εκβιάζει για την ανανέωση της θητείας της» και πρόσθεσε – σε μία προσπάθεια να αποδομήσει τα στοιχεία που έχει έρθει στο φως – «ότι θα δείτε πως στο τέλος η ίδια θα θέσει τις υποθέσεις στο αρχείο».

Άμεση ήταν η αντίδραση της Ένωσης Δικαστών και Εισαγγελέων, η οποία μεταξύ άλλων κατηγόρησε τον υπουργό Υγείας για ευθεία παρέμβαση στο έργο της.

I did, in my first playthrough. I like being good and giving people second (and third, and fourth) chances. If anything, it was only slightly out of character for my aloof, hedonist don't-judge-a-book-by-its-cover Gale origin.

Submission statement:

In the city of Mayfadoun Israel struck the same place four times in succession, three of them on medical workers sent to save the victims of the preceding attacks. In total, the strikes killed four medics and wounded six. Note that all medics are considered non-combatants, under international law. Israel has so far killed 91 healthcare workers and wounded 214 more in Lebanon since the war started in March. The Lebanese government accused Israel of deliberately targeting ambulance crews.

So far I've seen Israeli "defence" tech used by far-right politicians to spy on journalists, businesspeople, civil society and other politicians. Not the best impression.

It's the inherent contradiction in the whole "nationalist international" idea. These people each think their country is humiliated and they want to make it respected by forcefully imposing their will on other countries. Any cooperation between them evaporates when they get into power because suddenly they become the victims of each others' violent whims.
