Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Nattapong Pinta, a Thai agricultural worker, was abducted during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz and later murdered by the Mujahideen Brigades, a lesser-known Palestinian militant group, highlighting the diverse terror networks active in Gaza beyond Hamas.

The recovery of Pinta’s body in Rafah by Israeli forces, as reported by Defense Minister Israel Katz on June 7, 2025, underscores the ongoing complexity of hostage situations, with data from the UN OCHA indicating over 54,000 Palestinian deaths since the conflict escalated, reflecting the scale of violence.

The incident challenges narratives of a singular "jihadist brutality" by revealing multiple actors, while historical context from Wikipedia notes that Palestinian militant infiltration and violence have roots in the 1950s, evolving with groups like Hamas using suicide bombings to derail peace processes since the 1990s.

Yep I remember this when Hamas blamed Israel on a missile strike that blew up a hospital

Gaza hospital blast likely a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket misfire, U.S. officials say

Turned out to be these guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Islamic_Jihad

This is so true:

Among the cascade of horrors unleashed that day, one of the most harrowing sights remains etched in my memory. It was a real-time video, circulated by Palestinian terrorists themselves, showing two men in civilian clothes from Gaza, jostling to capture the perfect angle as they filmed the slow, grotesque beheading of a barely living Thai worker writhing on the ground.

How many hospitals was bombed by israel?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

One is to many...

This is a bad comparison. I'm on the side on not bombing hospitals. Anyone who does so is commiting war crimes.

Huge difference between a misfire and deliberately attacking hospitals like Israel does

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

"Misfire" means nothing

Israel could claim that all of the lives lost were "misfires." It wouldn't change the fact that they were killed.
