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. Israel appealed to the Lebanese government to confiscate the money it said the Shia militant organisation had stolen from the Lebanese people.
Shortly after, Israel issued a series of warnings to residents of Dahiyeh that it would begin striking buildings in the area and that they should move at least 500 metres away. Those who remained in the area began to flee.
though it said it would not strike the complex
Nah, they are going to hit it accidentally
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!
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.
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
