Israel ‘hit squad’ kill 3 Palestinians in West Bank Hospital

And now shockingly this. for those of you who have been following the hospital thread would have seen Al Amal hospital has been under siege by the IDF for a number of days. This is the latest update by sky news:

Israeli forces have stormed al Amal Hospital in Gaza's southern Khan Younis and told people to evacuate at gunpoint, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society says.
In a statement on X, the PRCS said "displaced individuals and PRCS teams are being demanded to evacuate the building under the threat of arms".
"PRCS teams and displaced individuals are currently in severe danger," it added.
The report comes hours after the PRCS reported a woman has been killed and nine others injured by shrapnel from Israeli tank fire near the hospital.

This is interesting from sky

Israeli commandos dressing as Palestinian medics to enter a hospital in the West Bank is "tactically very questionable", security and defence analyst Michael Clarke has said.
Looking at the raid on the hospital in Jenin, in which Israeli troops dressed as Palestinians and killed three Hamas fighters, Clarke noted that Hamas "had not disputed" that those shot were members.
He said Israeli forces "obviously had some intelligence and they took on the hospital".
"The issue about that is we know that Israel is going for Hamas people everywhere and there is some legal justification for that given who Hamas are and what they do," he said.
"But in sheer tactical terms to behave like Hamas and dress up like medics and move in, not in uniform as special forces but to be an assassination squad that looks very much like a Hamas assassination squad, I think is tactically very questionable.
"It will certainly convince the anti-Israeli opinion out there that the Israelis are terrorists."

Yes!

Once again, Hamas cannot join the Geneva convention on the ground of being a terrorist organisation, therefore are not legally bound by it. On the other hand, Israel has but appears to totally forgotten about it. This will come to haunt them.

I thought we were not allowed to mention WW2.

Stop implying that we, posters who see why this state sponsored murder in an hospital is unacceptable, are terrorists. I am sick of this lazy, ill thought counter argument.

To be honest, when your back is against the wall, you lash out because having to face the fact that the Israeli government you support is becoming the monster it wanted to kill is too hard.

It says that doctors, nurses and security staff were attacked. Isn't that collateral damage?

What is disgusting is state sponsor murder is ok if the Israeli government is doing it.

Here's some info in the unit that carried out the hit - apparently the tv series Fauda is based on them.

Would you tolerate this if it was the other way round? Double standard, again.

Being called and other posters antisemitic every time were dare criticise the Israeli government's methods of operation is tedious and tiring. I also think that it indicates the inability to counter argue a point.
This was an assassination in an hospital. They deliberately dressed as medics to avoid detection, not the first time they have done something like that. Last time, this happened they pretended to bring in a pregnant woman. Despicable.
It is something terrorists would do, like Hamas.

Sounds like a very responsible operation @MercanDede

They had dismissed a drone strike which would have killed everyone in the compound for these reasons

1. The law says should try and capture or arrest
2. The presence of human shields in the compound- civilians including women and many children.

That is why they did the six man SEAL raid. To give Bin Laden a chance to surrender and to not kill innocent human shields.

When there is a war on, people do invariably try and kill those they are at war with.

No.

It's a saying.

Some of the responses to this are very strange. If this happened on UK soil and armed soldiers disguised as medics came in and shot and killed 3 unarmed suspects in their hospital beds posters would be saying it was fine? If you were a member of medical staff or a patient in a UK hospital and 3 executions were carried out in front of you how would you feel? This wouldn't be ok. I don't understand why Israel are held lower standards than other countries, especially when they are being provided with arms and funds.

I had been meaning to post this ~ thank you for doing so. I watched the video yesterday and it is another in a longline of vicious assaults on healthcare workers. After this there was a video of a young child being attacked in the street by them... It is neverending.

Interesting bit of history re: bin laden @MercanDede I understand why he was killed rather than arrested now. I'd forgotten the details as it was so long ago.

Terrorist, freedom fighter, unarmed soldier, innocent victim falsely identified. All of them as human beings deserve if possible a fair trial. In this case arresting and taking into custody was possible and therefore should have happened. If it can happen to an unarmed terrorist it can happen to an innocent person being mis-identfied. Like it or not, no matter how heinous previous crimes have been you don't summarily execute without a trial, its a line that should never be crossed. Once crossed then justification will reduce and errors will be made.

Sorry? Is this a game to you? I don’t follow.

As it was in a hospital! Which is not supposed to be allowed to happen. But we have already seen the disrespect that they have for international laws especially when it comes to hospitals as they've already destroyed enough of them and murdered countless others there
