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.
I legit had to check whether this was The Onion. This is such an absurd thing to announce it seems like a parody of their actions.
Israel is known for lying about hospitals.
What a strange thing to announce. Everything Israel says is a lie, but even still, so what if Hezbollah does store it there? I don’t understand why anyone is supposed to care how or where Hezbollah might store cash & gold on their own lands.

Once again, it’s THEIR FUCKING COUNTRY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THERE
I saw this episode of Geraldo.
Remember when they bothered to pretend that Hamas was blowing up their own hospitals because it would obviously be a war crime to target hospitals? I remember that.
Remember when Israel claimed that there was a multi-story Hamas command center under the Al-Shifa hospital, even sharing an animated rendering of it, and Biden said he believed it “no question in my mind?” The Israelis destroyed the hospital and found nothing but bragged that they found proof in the form of a gun in one of the rooms.
They did also find a calendar in Arabic, which was pretty harrowing. I hope the IDF soldiers involved got intensive therapy for the trauma.
They also claimed Hamas was beheading babies. Still waiting on that evidence.
In fairness, IIRC that was an American media lie to onboard the public. All I’ve heard from Israel about it was along the lines of “We don’t know about it, we don’t doubt it could have happened and we won’t investigate.”
Biden says he saw it, and he would never lie!
Receipts?
Another Al Shifa. Magazines next to MRI machine. Terrorists calendar.
We know all the tricks.I’m scary. What will happen after the US elections?
Full invasion? Next Gaza?I’d be nervous if I was a worker or patient in that hospital right now…
There is a word for it when it was deliberate by someone to instill this… What was it again…
Oh yeah.
Terrorism!
That’s why they evacuated it, they know Israel would bomb it. They’ve targeted hospitals and abundances in Lebanon before (and Gaza as well, of course).
Israel appealed to the Lebanese government to confiscate the money
Has the Lebanese government responded to any of these claims? I haven’t heard much from the government itself. I’ve just been assuming they might as well be innocent bystanders praying “oh god not again”.
Who do you think put it there? 🤔
