A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So a country literally called in a bomb threat on a hospital in another country. There are some words for this sort of behaviour that don't seem to be used in the article.
Does anyone still actually believe this garbage?
At this point, even the people hopping into every thread to defend Israel's genocide must know they're full of shit
I actually had to do a double take and realize this was not an onion article.
S..sure, sure, we gotta take out this hospital because ub. uhm... its... got buried treasure!
What are we, 2 months away from 'this hospital had a nuclear bomb in it!'?
We found the Ark of the Covenant! Hezbollah is hiding it under an orphanage!
What are we, 2 months away from 'this hospital had a nuclear bomb in it!'?
Spoiler: The ~~call~~ mushroom cloud was coming from ~~inside~~ outside the ~~house~~ hospital 😱
That's a really bizarre claim to make without any stated evidence. How would you even know that without having been in there yet? I presume this, much like ever other claim by the IDF (especially when they put out one of their terribly animated propaganda videos alongside it) that this claim is to give an excuse for future war crimes against the hospital?
Israel's people can sniff out cash like a bloodhound, apparently.
/j
The claim is to be heard by Lebanese government and military and prompt them into action.
though it said it would not strike the complex
Nah, they are going to hit it accidentally
At today's spot price $100,000,000 of 24k gold weighs about 1140kg
... in case anyone was wondering
edit: huh. I was wondering if cash weighed more and the answer is no, if a $100 bill weighs 1g then $100,000,000 in $100 bills weighs 1000kg
Hey, maybe it is true and they've been using this location as their central reserve equivalent. Announcing this is clearly intended for the locals, to encourage them to storm the place so Israel doesn't have to, regardless of whether it is true. Combined with their announcement that they won't target it, it seems like they're encouraging people to go there. But instead it was evacuated. If it is a safe spot with no gold, why would they evacuate it? Anyway, the mind games are interesting...
Why the fucking fuckery fuck would anyone keep gold and cash under a hospital rather than in a bank? Do these people even listen to what they are saying? How fucking stupid do they think everyone else is?
