IDF bygger for å bli lenge i Sør-Libanon:
Og raserer landsby etter landsby.

200.000 libanesere har ikke noe hjem å komme tilbake til.


"Israel Captured 230 Square Miles of Lebanon, Razed Villages and Built New Bases"

One of the areas where the IDF is operating is the town of Khiam, five kilometers north of Israel's border. The new base is being built on the site of the former Khiam Prison. After fighting resumed in March, the IDF destroyed the prison building. Satellite images from June show engineering vehicles at the site, and by July a structured military base had emerged, complete with an earthen berm, trenches that allow soldiers to move under relative cover and protective netting against explosive drones.

2006 i Libanon og 2022 i Ukraina: Bombing av fengsler for å dekke over tortur?

IDF bombet torturfengslet  Khiam  i Libanon i 2006
"Noen" har bombet russusk fengsel med ukrainske krigsfanger i Olienka, Ukriana

Olienka/Ukraina Juli 2022
"Det råder uvisshet over hvem som står bak fengselsangrepet som skal ha drept 53 ukrainske krigsfanger i Olenivka. Nye satellittbilder taler til Ukrainas forsvar, mener USA.

29. juli ble det meldt om et angrep mot fengselet som ligger i den russiskokkuperte delen av Ukraina. Angrepet skal ha drept 53 og såret 75.

De innsatte i avdelingen som ble angrepet skal ha vært ukrainske krigsfanger, blant annet soldater fra de mye omtalte kampene i Mariupol.

Ukrainske myndigheter har anklaget Russland for å ha angrepet fengselet for å dekke over anklager om tortur og henrettelser av fangene.

Russland på sin side hevder Ukraina brukte HIMARS-rakettsystemer i angrepet, med et mål om å stoppe avhoppere. Det skriver Politico."

Khiam/Libanon i juli  2006
"Israelis ignored repeated warnings before killing UN observers
· 16 pleas for firing to stop went unheeded
· Furious Annan condemns targeting of post

Israel came under mounting pressure last night to explain why its military ignored repeated warnings and bombed a prominent UN post in southern Lebanon, killing four unarmed international observers.

The four UN soldiers, from China, Austria, Finland and Canada, were taking shelter in a bunker at the white, three-storey building in Khiyam on Tuesday after at least six hours of Israeli bombing and shelling, when it was destroyed by what UN sources say was a precision-guided aerial bomb."

- Da Israel nesten angrep Iran

Intervju i Haaretz 24. mars 2022 av Zohar Palti om hans tid i Mossad og Israels Forsvarsdep:

"The Dramatic Moment When Israel Almost Struck Iran"

"He was in the room at every critical, defense-related moment in the past decades. Now, Zohar Palti, who held senior Mossad and Defense Ministry posts, recalls what happened when Netanyahu and Barak ordered the army to prepare an Iran strike – within 16 days".

Ten minutes into the conversation with Zohar Palti, who this week concluded his term as head of the Defense Ministry’s political-military bureau, it was clear that he wasn’t about to go easy either on himself or on the system in which he had spent nearly 40 years. 

“One time, when I gave a talk in the Mossad’s senior command course, I was asked which past leader I would like to talk to if I could go back in time,” he relates. “I told the cadets: If only I could talk to Yitzhak Rabin, even for just five minutes, I would ask him one thing: Why in the world did you wait and not take us out of Lebanon? Why did we have to wait for more than 15 years, until Ehud Barak arrived on the scene? We were all doormat officers. None of us, from the rank of lieutenant and up, came out against the political echelon and their decision to remain in southern Lebanon. It was the silence of the lambs. Barak was right, of course. We should have gotten out long before that.”

Om Libanon ... spørsmål til Rabin:

"Why in the world did you wait and not take us out of Lebanon? 

Why did we have to wait for more than 15 years ..."

 

Ja, 15 år med israelsk okkupasjon av Sør-Libanon.

Og tortur og ummenneskelig behandling av fanger i Khiam-fengselet i samarbeid med SLA.

Khiam: Frigitt informasjon i Israel bekrefter omfattende tortur og mishandling. Stilles noen til ansvar?

Al Jazeera 16. mars 2020
"Lebanon military court drops charges against ‘Butcher of Khiam’"
"Amer Fakhoury is accused of overseeing torture of thousands and killing of several inmates at the notorious prison."

"Fakhoury is accused of overseeing the torture of thousands at the Khiam Prison in the 1980s and 1990s and being personally involved in the murder of several detainees, earning him the nickname, the Butcher of Khiam.

He fled Lebanon along with hundreds of other former SLA members after Israel withdrew from the country in 2000, eventually settling in the US state of New Hampshire. 

He was arrested after he entered Lebanon in September.

However, a civil case against Fakhoury by former inmates of the Khiam Prison is continuing in a Beirut court on charges that he arrested, imprisoned and tortured them."

Ny Info:

Haaretz 23. mars 2022
"EXPOSED: Torture, Hunger in Israeli-run Prison in South Lebanon"

"During its 15 years, Khiam Prison in Lebanon saw detainees imprisoned indefinitely with no trial, food shortages, electrocution, denial of medical care and other grave issues, newly declassified Israeli documents show."

Middleeasteye 23. mars 2022

"Lebanon: Extent of torture in Israeli-backed prison revealed in declassified documents"

"Shin Bet released documents about the notorious Khiam facility ahead of legal proceedings set to take place in early April."

 

.................

Torturen og mishandlingen i Khiam-fengselet i regi av SLA i Sør Libanon og av Israels Shin Bet har vært kjent lenge.

"Khiam-bøddelen" Amer Fakhoury rømte til USA og ble amerikanske statsborger.
Da han i 2020 besøkte Libanon igjen ble han arrestert ... men frigitt av en libanesisk militær domstol fordi saken var foreldet ... selv om der fortsatt var en sivil sak mot ham.

Straks han ble frigitt satte USA inn et helikopter og hentet ham ut fra Libanon.

To år senere, i mars 2022 frigis det informasjon i Israel om den omfattende mishandlingen i Khiam.

Siste ord ord nok ikke sagt ... selv om IDF bombet Khiam-fengselet i 2006 og drepte FN-observatører der:
