Bombings in Lebanon: General Yakovleff denounces Israeli “war crimes”

ByMuhammad

Israeli bombings in Lebanon provoke strong reactions. Guest on LCI, French general Michel Yakovleff denounced “war crimes”, remarks that he repeated twice on the air. “These are war crimes. These are war crimes,” he insisted, criticizing the strategy of Israeli strikes targeting civilian buildings. According to him, warning residents before a strike in no way justifies their destruction: “Either we kill innocent people by the dozens, or we destroy a building. In both cases, it is prohibited.” The general also denounced what he describes as “collective punishment”, prohibited by international humanitarian law. “You have no right to destroy a building in this way,” he insisted, saying that “the Israelis who carry out these strikes are war criminals”.

Editor’s note: In this context, the facts accumulate and outline a reality that is increasingly difficult to hide. In Gaza, the massive destruction, the thousands of civilians killed and the methodical annihilation of infrastructure lead many observers to speak openly of genocide. Now, this logic of total war extends to Lebanon, where Israel is increasing strikes and de facto occupying areas in the south of the country, in violation of international law. This escalation fuels the accusation of a policy based on terror and collective punishment. Despite the seriousness of the facts, Israel continues to act with almost total impunity, protected by its Western allies. At the same time, the Jewish state persists in presenting itself as “the most moral army in the world”, a slogan which is nothing other than despicable propaganda intended to hide a much darker reality: that of an army accused of repeated war crimes and genocide.
