Sahel hospital evacuated despite Israel saying it would not attack it although at least four people died in nearby strikes

Israel has accused Hezbollah of keeping hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and gold in a bunker under a hospital in the southern suburbs of Beirut, though it said it would not strike the complex.

The Sahel hospital in Dahiyeh was evacuated shortly afterwards, and Fadi Alame, its director, told Reuters that the allegations were untrue.

Israel did not provide evidence for its claim that cash was being kept under the hospital. Instead, it published an animated graphic that purported to show a bunker under the hospital and said it had previously been used to hide the former secretary general of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.

    Another Al Shifa. Magazines next to MRI machine. Terrorists calendar.
    We know all the tricks.

    I'm scary. What will happen after the US elections?
    Full invasion? Next Gaza?

      That's why they evacuated it, they know Israel would bomb it. They've targeted hospitals and abundances in Lebanon before (and Gaza as well, of course).

      Also even if they are storing large amounts of money... you know where else money is stored? Fucking banks! Can you imagine if the US decided to bomb Canada and targeted RBC and CIBC outlets and even convenience stores (because they gave ATM machines) with the claim that these institutions are financing terrorism because some asshole had an account there?

      Yes. Except now it is even more incredible since how the FUCK are they getting away with it! Back then fact checking was much harder and it was much easier to bullshit. Now we have access to unprecedented information and fact checkers and still the same old fucktard tactics work.

      There isn't even a cool off period with this. There was a time not too long ago where they would spout some bullshit that would later turn out to be obvious bullshit... and they would wait several years for people to forget before doing it again. But over here they just turned the entire thing into a ritual where they expect us to fall in line and believe it even they know we know it is shit.

    This is Israel's setup for bombing a damn hospital. Not that they've ever cared about needing an excuse, before.

    Israel appealed to the Lebanese government to confiscate the money

    Has the Lebanese government responded to any of these claims? I haven't heard much from the government itself. I've just been assuming they might as well be innocent bystanders praying "oh god not again".

    Surprised they called their shot, they usually like it to be a surprise so people can't evacuate
