Lebanese Maronite Catholic priest killed by Israeli tank fire in southern Lebanon
quote:
Lebanese news reports stated that an Israeli Merkava tank hit a house in Qlayaa twice. The first strike wounded the owner and his wife. al-Rahi and other neighbors rushed to the scene to help when the tank fired a second time. al-Rahi was wounded from the strike and later died from his injuries. Several other Lebanese civilians were also injured in the attack.
quote:
"Very disturbing reports that a parish priest in southern Lebanon has been killed in an Israeli strike," Aid to the Church in Need Ireland said in a statement on X, adding al-Rahi "was ministering to his distressed parishioners in the village" when the attack occurred.
quote:
Pope Leo XIV expressed "profound sorrow for all the victims of the bombings in the Middle East over the last few days — for the many innocent people, including many children, and for those who were providing them with aid, such as Fr. Pierre El-Rahi, a Maronite priest killed this afternoon in Qlayaa," the Vatican's Telegram channel said.

Don’t worry guys when the mosque and the church of the holy sepulcher blow up it will totally be because Iran blew it up.
It will be important that you don’t ask any questions as well. Would hate for you to be labeled an antisemite.

The sooner good people point out the bad guys, the sooner we will be rid of the IRGC scum and their minions.

And? Civilians have been killed in every military conflict... does this one mean more bc it was a priest killed by Jews?

Double taps violate the Geneva convention

Maybe it's just me, but when I hear the rumble of tanks as a civilian, I move away from them at a high level of speed. I'm not going to wait around and wonder if they're going to put a round into the building next to me, or across the street. I'm out.

I assume by double tap you mean hitting the same target twice. So, we never hit a target more than once?

Literally fake news lol

The reporting isn't helping:
Did they kill him with an airstrike or was it tank fire?
Was it collateral damage or a war crime?
This sort of thing is common in reporting for the region and complicates just exactly what are we to make of the event.

Was going to make a joke about the increased safety of Lebanese altar boys, but decided that would be tasteless.

Yup. If non-combatants are going to the area to assist the wounded you’re supposed to back off.
It was also a reason people thought the girls school was actually done by israel and not the US because our military usually makes an attempt to avoid it… and israel makes a habit of it

Please tell us how, where and when did you "hear" the rumble of enemy tanks and quickly evacuated the area?

Happy to be wrong. Do you have a source proving the contrary?
