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.
Dr Abu-Sittah, who worked in Gaza during the early part of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, was also asked about accusations that by carrying out his work he was siding with groups proscribed as terrorist organisations in the UK and US.

Didn't the doctors attempt a terrorist attack in Glasgow and London in 2006….the Hizbollah issued these handsets to their cadres….some of them might be employed in civilian capacities…but they were Hezbollah affiliates…this is akin to saying that Osama Bin Laden was a terrorist but Abu Zubaydah was not because all he did was training , financing and procurement for Al Qaeda….
Talkie walkie went Boom
"Talkie walkies". How cute.
Nothing diabolical about returning serve to your enemy in innovative ways.
Those paragliders etc on 7 October were innovative.
So is this. And so is hacking the CCTV apparatus of Lebanon. Be prepared for innovation, large scale.
Noting that Iran has declined to respond. Pretty sure Putin doesn't need his main ally rubbed out so he'd be making them tread carefully.
From the river to the sea your testicles will be free.
The catastrophic thing as they will never able to operate another missile again
Why is there sympathy for terrorists and what is a British doctor going to Lebanon to treat terrorists
Hilarious!
A "JEW HATING" doctor,…. he's not fooling anybody.
Am fae Glesgae an a couldnae unnerston yer mans Maryhill eggy.
So what the doc is saying is that the Mosad plan was a major succes.
Good Very Very Good ๐
Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire
Terrorists complaining that they are Victims? What next demands for reparations? Faulty pagers: sellers policy returns must pay their own postage!
Riling up the honey badger that is Israel, not a very smart move, yes? How many times do the Middle East antagonists need their rears handed to them before they get the memo? Wars today are fought and lost on tech and have become very asymmetrical, as the guerilla-drone war in Ukraine illustrates. With Israel, it's drones, air superiority, topnotch intel and an army so professional, it discriminates between enemy combatants the civilians they hid behind. In short, Hizbullah effed around, now they are finding out – in an unpleasant, gory fashion.
2:01 unfortunately? Ok ๐
Hilarious ๐
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. My sympathies with Handsblowup.
Boo Hoo
Doctor needs to stay where he is and not allowed back into the UK, for spreading lies on behalf of terrorists
Israel targeted Hezbollah, stop trying to make TERRORISTS sound like innocents
Why would we be familliar with this doctor? Has he found a cure for cancer or something?
Did this doctor immediately volunteer his services to help the Israelis who were viciously attacked by the Hanas terrorists on October 7, 2023? Just wondering if he believes the Hippocratic Oath he mentioned in the video should also apply to Jews.
He states terrorists are deserving of his care. Investigate him.
Dont let him back in the country hes just as bad as the terrorists
Sky news is suffering for all Hezbollah terrorists
Supporting terrorism has fatal consequences…..
So … When will the terrorists be able to go back to work?
Apparently a lot were deknackered
Seems though Sky is trying to get us to feel sorry for the terrorists?
Look out for them Talkie Walkies!!!!
We must never demonize a doctor that treats anyone. And he can not say that most of the casualties were Hezbollah members. He can also not say that Hezbollah puts her munitions in civilian facilities to increase the civilian casualties so they can use it as propaganda. If he did so, at the very least he would have to go back to the west, at worst he would never leave Lebanon. They would kill him.
very poor job by female reporter
Well they wonโt be setting off bombs.
He didn't get on a plane and go to Israel on October 7th did he?
Oh what a shame
War is hell. Make peace not war.
To quote a comedians comment. From the gravy to the peas the sausages will be free.
FU sky
Hezbollah does not care how many die. But the blame has to be on Israel, Satanic Islamic logic!
