Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Evidence of ‘execution-style’ killings of Palestinian aid workers by Israeli forces, doctor says (www.theguardian.com)

A forensic doctor who examined the bodies of some of the 15 paramedics and Palestinian rescue workers shot dead by Israeli forces and buried in a mass grave in southern Gaza has said there is evidence of execution-style killing, based on the “specific and intentional” location of shots at close range.

Ahmad Dhaher, a forensic consultant who examined five of the dead at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis after they had been exhumed, said all of them had died from bullet wounds. “All cases had been shot with multiple bullets, except for one, which could not be determined due to the body being mutilated by animals like dogs, leaving it almost as just a skeleton,” Dhaher told the Guardian.

“Preliminary analysis suggests they were executed, not from a distant range, since the locations of the bullet wounds were specific and intentional,” he said. “One observation is that the bullets were aimed at one person’s head, another at their heart, and a third person had been shot with six or seven bullets in the torso.”

Aljazeera English last week has released a documentary about investigating kids killing by Israeli IOF. My brain zoned out from the stories and horror I was watching and sat there unable to fathom what American or Western values aid and enable this. It's Nazi Germany stuff. Discliamer: I watch NSFL and war videos all the time, but this is too hard to watch if you understand English and were a human with a heart and brain capapible of sympathy:

You won't hear a word about this from the libs because they full support genocide.

So these ambulance vehicles occupied by only medical personnel and unlikely to carry insurgent fighters, was driving in a convoy to serve wounded Palestinians, was suddenly completely immersed in unceasing gunfire until everyone was dead. Then another medical ambulance convoy arrived to serve the people who were killed in the previous convoy, and were also completely immersed in gunfire until everyone was dead. Then the Israeli army, realizing they fucked up, rapidly concealed the dead bodies in a mass grave.

Did I miss anything?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, like everything. It was an execution, they had to take the victims alive before killing them.

realizing they fucked up

You make this sound like it wasn't planned. If they fuck up this often, then they are super incompetent. But I don't believe this to be the case.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

90% of their military are conscripted civilians and not professional volunteers like NATO, so yes they are super incompetent.

Yes, you missed that the bullets were aimed at specific parts of their bodies, so not just an assault on the ambulances: the medics seem to have been dragged out of the ambulances then deliberately shot in the head and heart, before being thrown in a mass grave. And at least one of them had had their hands and feet bound together before being shot in the head. This is a planned and deliberate execution of 15 medical professionals. Maybe the Israeli soldiers lined them up by the grave then shot them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago

Yes, they were essentially executed. IDF soldiers knowingly shot at an ambulance clearly announcing itself as one and killed it's occupants, and then waited for others ambulances (the convoy) to come help and shot them up to.
