I’ve done some Soveso incident training and “white powder” responses. Blowing up stuff is not a good idea and especially if you are not 100% sure what it is. According to Wikipedia , destruction involves five major factors: decontamination, decommissioning, dispositioning, demolition and administrative closeout. That sounds similar to the sequence of events when in our local authority moved a Soveso facility away from some apartment buildings a few years ago-a highly planned multiagency project.
These weapons were not actually in use at the time they were destroyed, without inspection we don’t know for sure what they were and we have no idea what the long term environmental impact will be. I’m not sure I’d eat a tomato or an orange grown nearby

Perhaps the risk analysis was; we can leave them but there's a high chance they will be used against us or we can try to get access to destroy them safely but by the time that's agreed (if ever) they will have been removed elsewhere.

So the risk analysis was we will bomb them to ensure we protect Israelis from a hypothetical risk but put Syrians living in the area at definite risk due to bombing them (as outlined in the article I posted) nice.

You hit the nail on the head here.

Israel still bombing children in Gaza last night, hoping no one is noticing.

Well done, IDF, what military brilliance and bravery!
1 jihadist for 80 ordinary Palestinians. That’s how to hit a target.

Haaretz:

GAZA: An Israeli strike overnight into Friday on a post office sheltering Palestinians in central Gaza killed at least 30 Palestinians and wounded 50, medics told Reuters. The IDF said the attack targeted a Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader whom it did not identify by name, and accused the group of exploiting civilian infrastructure and population as a human shield for its activities. A later IDF statement said it was reviewing reportson the number of casualties.

Haaretz

ISRAEL: Israel's Chief Military Advocate General, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi,said at an Israeli Association of Public Law conference that there are people in the country "attempting to delegitimize prosecuting or even investigating offenses committed by soldiers during combat. This effort severely undermines the principles of gatekeeping, which are integral to our professionalism, our duty to the IDF, and the embodiment of the values of the military and our country."

Just been watching the report on channel 4. Horrendous 😢

This is an unconscionable situation now. Those able to save and treat the injured are getting killed but no not a genocide

ScrollingLeaves · 15/12/2024 09:13

I saw about this latest doctor killing on the news the other night. What a great loss for the people who need him, and for all his family and friends.

MissyB1 · 15/12/2024 13:33

Part of Israel’s plan “to redesign the Middle East” no doubt. 😡

Sick! And people support this??

Re:
The billboards telling Palestinians in The West Bank, their home, that they have no future, in an attempt to hound and harrass them out.

How insidious and obnoxious.

The people doing this had to create and invest in the billboards. Who are they? Who funded them?

Lalaloveya · 15/12/2024 20:56

And who allowed it? I can't see this happening in normal democracies.

Imagine trying to explain it to children reading it? It's disgusting.

SugarandSpiceandAllThingsNaice · 16/12/2024 00:55

This is utterly depraved and despicable incitement. “No future” alongside photos of massacres of Palestinians is clearly a threat meant to inspire terror in Palestinians and incitement to genocidal violence in the illegal settlers.

What are your views on these billboards? Totally acceptable in the "only democracy" in the Middle East?

You had quoted this post:

What are you talking about?
Are you referring to this person’s reaction to this Ad campaign carried out against Palestinians by Israeli elements ?

It seems a reasonable reaction to me about something so egregiously malicious and wrong.

Do you have any opinion about the billboards themselves and whoever put them there?

Israel hits Syrian coastal region with 'heaviest strikes' in a decade
A war monitor group said early on Monday that Israeli strikes had targeted military sites in Syria’s coastal Tartus region, calling them “the heaviest strikes” in the area in more than a decade.
“Israeli warplanes launched strikes’ targeting a series of sites including air defence units and ‘surface-to-surface missile depots’”, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, in what it said were “the heaviest strikes in Syria’s coastal region since the start of strikes in 2012”.

——
does anyone know why they’re still targeting in Syria? Are they pro Assad sites?

I can only hope he felt as he died that he was with his granddaughter.

So they are still shelling all over the place.

The last figure I saw was 825 families murdered in Gaza. Everyone from newborn to old age elderly slaughtered.

It makes me rage to know that our fucking former “human rights lawyer” of a Prime Minister is supporting the daily massacre of civilians.

Israeli Airstrikes Have 'Wiped Out Entire Families'

Israel has "wiped out entire families" in Gaza, reports Amnesty International and the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
