Starting from the beginning - a convoy of ambulances set off with lights flashing and sirens blaring to affirm non-combatant status and ensure the safety that is (or should be) recognised under International law (standards) for such vehicles and personnel...
If terrorists had ambushed / blown up an ambulance anywhere else in the world, we wouldn't be looking for a back story ...
The fact that there was both denial and an attempt to cover up the incident and that 'the truth' only came out via a dead medics phone is pretty damning, not just to this incident but to the many claims that Israel / IDF only ever targets military command centres etc ...
I don't agree with your narrative to it.
War is war, and people from both sides will use certain scenarios to their advantage. We seem to have this human concept in peacetime that everyone is honourable and obeys the rules, quite simply they don't. The IDF don't follow the rules, and I've never once on here ever attempted to suggest they do, and Hamas don't follow the rules of war either.
Let's get something straight, the IDF ****ed up big time, chances are in all likelyhood they also tried to cover it up, but trying to pretend flashing lights protect you is ****ing ridiculous, it might from your cosy suburb in Hertfordshire or Cornwall but let's get ****ing real here.
Something occurred before those ambulances arrived, not one of you want to mention that, simply because it could have a bearing on what followed.
There was clearly some in the video without reflectives on, now knowing the dangers of their operation why was that, loads of hospitals and medics have been hit, killed, maimed whatever, so to go without reflectives on, either suggests you don't care about your own life or that of your team or think god will protect you, they won't and didn't....now I'm sounding as idiotic as you over this.
Is it a war crime, most probably, but let's get all the evidence in first and stop acting as if flashing lights have some mystical power. You like everyone else on here have never been to war, you've never faced a gun in your face or a bomb explosion to disorientate you, some of the IDF like Ukranians, like Russians will be kids, kids we shoved guns into the hands of, I wonder how we would act when faced with life or death.
Sorry Fosse you are so far up your own arse you haven't got a clue about war, not an iota, so go water your flowers or pour yourself a wine, because you are starting to come across as an utter muppet.
That's not defending the IDF or Israel, I'm just abit more realistic about life and humanity and don't live in a world of pink candlyfloss.
Maybe someone should rape and kill your daughters to see how you would react, even 2 years on, as Israel will find out for decades or a whole century to come the revenge that will be reaped on then for this appalling loss of humanity, but one thing for sure, unlike you I will not kid myself about the consequences of war or butchery and try and justify everything over a blue and red light from my little haven in the South of England.
