Amnesty International says the ‘Israeli’ army’s bombing of branches of the al-Qard al-Hassan financial firm in Lebanon should be “investigated as a war crime”.
Al-Qard al-Hassan is sanctioned by the US, which accuses Hezbollah of using it as a cover to gain access to the international financial system.

The Israeli military hit branches of the organisation across Lebanon late on Sunday and early Monday.
“The Israeli military’s targeting of branches” of al-Qard al-Hassan “likely violates international humanitarian law and must be investigated as a war crime”, Amnesty said in a statement.
“Under the laws of war, branches of financial institutions are civilian objects unless they are being used for military purposes. Therefore, these attacks likely constitute a direct attack on civilian objects,” it added.
The financial firm, officially registered as a charity, has been offering customers credit in exchange for gold deposits on an interest-free basis since the 1980s.
Amnesty’s Erika Guevara Rosas said the Israeli military had “targeted an institution that serves as an economic lifeline for countless Lebanese civilians”.
“This, along with an evacuation warning issued less than 40 minutes before the start of the strikes, shows Israel’s disregard for international humanitarian law,” she said.

Once again, it is the US, which proscribes who is terrorist and who is “the most moral army in the world.”

The world has been for too long governed by the colonial/ imperial pover the US, which has been founded on a double genocidal, as is the the Zionist pariah colony.

It is time to unite against the empire/ colony.
