The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that a Hezbollah anti-tank missile struck St. Mary’s Greek Orthodox Church in Iqrit, northern Israel.

On X, the IDF said the attack, occurring on the day after Christmas, not only violated UN Security Council Resolution 1701 but also infringed upon the freedom of worship.

    When you say “fuck the rules” it means other players won’t obey them either. Thats the “find out” part of “fucking around”. You don’t get to quote UN resolutions to defend yourself with a moral high ground after using them as TP.

    But still fuck these guys for shooting a church.

      Why are there so many people who know nothing about this conflict but have such a solid opinion about it that they feel the need to spread it online?

        Not sure what you mean by that . It’s been proven the Israel has attacked alot of churches and mosques in Gaza . Along with schools and hospitals. It’s still wrong if either side does it though.

    Using churches and hospitals as “human shields” is actually very okay and based when Israel does it.

    There are reports of Israel executing civilians in places of worship. So a similar “and you” report from Israel condemning a similar stack from Hamas but attached to that is “injuring IDF soldiers”.

    So we finally have an answer to the age old question: how many soldiers does it take to evacuate one civilian

    The IDF invoking the UN is like republicans claiming they’re the party of Lincoln. Scum-sucking tyrants.
