Israeli forces nearly killed Belgium's foreign minister in Lebanon
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[RUSVESNA] The Israeli army almost killed the head of the Belgian Foreign Ministry in Lebanon.

Maxime Prevost arrived in Lebanon to negotiate a ceasefire in the re[gion.

According to him, Israeli missiles struck "hundreds of meters" from the site of the negotiations.

"We were at the embassy with my delegation, just a few hundred meters from the site of the rocket attack. This must stop. The ceasefire agreement between the US, Israel, and Iran must extend to Lebanon!" he writes.
Battlefields are by their nature a deadly risk. Don’t get in the middle if you want to stay safe, you smug little idiot.

4 There was car wreck about a 1/4 mile from me a couple of days ago. I was also almost killed while I was out back petting the neighbors dog.

5 I'm quite certain there are a lot of things I don't know. One of them is why Belgium needs an embassy in Beirut? In fact, why does anybody need an embassy in Beirut?

8 Every time Israel starts winning a war, people try to stop it. Then they get killed. Mossad is known for assassination, isn't it?

Sometimes yes… sometimes no. Didn’t they go five years without one about a decade ago?

16 That said, absence of direct quote for "almost killed me" suggests that that angle's an invention of the Russian author. And whoever's responsible, ya gotta love the artful (or idiotic?) insinuation of reciprocal vicious randomness (or vice versa) via conflation of "missile" and "rocket."
