Israel killed a father and his daughter in southern Lebanon today, and then targeted the team of rescue workers who arrived to care for them.
Over a year ago. But regrettably it bears repeating.

America's shameful struggle to justify #MinabMassacre cannot hide the nature of this crime
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to the claim of the Central Command of the United States of America about the reason for targeting the Shajra Tayyaba Minab school and killing more than 170 students and teachers:
The US Central Command's (CENTCOM) claim that the Shajreh Tayyeh Minab Elementary School was in the vicinity of a missile center is completely baseless and misleading. This blatant distortion is a clear attempt to hide the true nature of the February 28 rocket attacks that massacred more than 170 students and their teachers
Targeting an active educational center during school hours is a gross violation of international humanitarian law and a clear example of a war crime.
The civilian nature of this place cannot be covered by technical justifications and wordplay. The American military commanders and officials who were responsible for ordering and executing this catastrophic attack must be held fully accountable and prosecuted according to international law.

Horrifying. Israel bombed a residential building in Toul, South Lebanon. Paramedics rushed inside to save civilians trapped under the rubble. Israel waited for them to enter. Then dropped another bomb on them. Israel is hunting down and assassinating medical rescuers.
Obviously I'd heard of the #MinabSchool bombing, but listen to this: the #US/#Israeli bastards did #DoubleTap strike on a PRIMARY SCHOOL. One hit might be an accident. A double tap strike is inexcusable anywhere.
