'Almost all the victims will end up with some permanent disability', says surgeon in Beirut

Surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah tells Sky's Alex Crawford about the "catastrophic" injuries he has been treating at a hospital in Beirut after pagers and walkie-talkies exploded across Lebanon.
The "catastrophic thing", he said, is "almost all of the victims will end up with some permanent disability".
The number of people killed in the device explosions on Wednesday has now risen to 25, Lebanon's health minister says.

Israel has issued a statement on the attacks and have agreed to send 50,000 pagers & walkie talkies to Lebanon as a gesture of humiliation assistance

It's now apparent that most victims were civilians.

He wasn't talking about Israel, he was talking about the victims so unfortunately was the correct word.

I heard BBC calling Hezbollah terrorists *soldiers* 😂😂😂

[@SomeoneFromBeijing]

Israel blew up a bunch of MILITARY-ISSUED communication equipment. How is that "terrorism"? Hezbollah gave those pagers to their terrorists. Want to avoid such injuries? Don't be a terrorist.

Based on his responses I wonder if this doctor had a pager.

[@SomeoneFromBeijing]

@@hw3748 He wasn’t there when Syria bombed civilians. He wasn’t there when Sudan blew up civilians. And he wasn’t even there when Israel was attacked. But the moment Israel decided to fight back, he rushed in and started repeating terrorist talking points. I find that comically suspicious. He’s not even trying to hide it.

Trust Sly News to be unbiased.

[@SomeoneFromBeijing]

This doctor is a national security threat. He flew in immediately after he learnt that TERRORISTS were injured. I can understand that maybe he went to Gaza to treat civilians. But even after his statement, it is extremely odd for a non-terrorist supporter to fly in to save terrorists' lives.
