Palestinians release footage showing Israeli forces disembarking from a vehicle disguised as an ambulance during a raid on a Nablus refugee camp

The Palestinians on Sunday released unusual footage showing armed fighters in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus disembarking from a vehicle disguised as an ambulance. According to Palestinian reports, the video was filmed approximately two and a half weeks ago during an IDF raid on the camp.

On the day of the operation, Palestinians reported the deaths of two individuals, including an 80-year-old woman.

Palestinian sources explained the delayed release of the footage, saying it had been held by a local shopkeeper in Balata and only surfaced now.

    Not only is it perfidious, but it’s a war crime…

    In the context of war, perfidy is a form of deceptive tactic where one side pretends to act in good faith, such as signaling a truce (e.g., raising a white flag), but does so with the deliberate intention of breaking that promise. The goal is to trick the enemy into lowering their guard, such stepping out of cover to accept a supposed surrender, only to exploit their vulnerability.

    Perfidy constitutes a breach of the laws of war and so is a war crime, as it degrades the protections and mutual restraints developed in the interest of all parties, combatants and civilians.

        Israel has been committing war crimes this whole time and it hasn’t seemed to have had any negative effect on them, so I’m sure they don’t have any issue continuing to do so along with the genocide.

          See there’s your problem; this isn’t a 'war" technically, so those rules don’t apply. Galaxy brain Bibi is working the loopholes and the US is tapping its forehead thinking “Smort”
