The IDF reportedly ordered Palestinians to leave al-Amal Hospital “naked” and ran over survivors at al-Shifa with tanks.


...

Overnight, Israeli forces committed eight massacres in various areas of the Gaza Strip, according to the Ministry of Health on Telegram, killing at least 84 people and injuring 106. Thousands remain under the rubble of bombed buildings.

Israeli forces shelled and bombed the vicinity of al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS). Amir Abu Aisha, a volunteer with the PRCS, was killed by Israeli gunfire inside al-Amal.

His last post on Instagram was a video of Israeli airstrikes near al-Amal.

PRCS said the medical team inside the facility are “in extreme danger…and are completely immobilized.”

“They are unable to bury the body of our colleague Amir Abu Aisha within the hospital’s backyard,” PRCS continued as Israeli forces razed and excavated the area.

Since October, Israeli bombardment killed at least 364 medical workers in the Gaza Strip, including doctors, nurses, and paramedics, and damaged dozens of clinics and ambulances.

On Sunday morning, PRCS also said that Israeli tanks and forces are “besieging both Al-Amal Hospital and Al-Naser Hospital amidst very intense shelling and heavy gunfire.”

PRCS said that one of the displaced Palestinians at al-Amal was “injured in the head,” while Israeli drones are ordering that all people inside the hospital “leave it naked.”

“Smoke bombs are being launched at the hospital to force the staff, wounded, and displaced individuals to leave it,” the PRCS wrote on in a post on X.

“Israeli vehicles [are] surrounding Al-Amal Hospital and are now bulldozing the area in front and around it and closing the hospital gates with barriers,” the post added.

My son is about the same age as the boy in the thumbnail, being held by his father. They look pretty similar too.

I can't even imagine the pain and anger that I would feel to see my boy injured, what to speak of being killed, by militant forces. I would be absolutely beside myself with rage. It's really no wonder this conflict has continued for generations. There are thousands of people on both sides who have become absolutely fixated on revenge.

Palestinians are focused on liberation. Israeli settlers are focused on genocide and sadistic murder. The resistance of the Warsaw ghetto is not equivalent to the genocidal violence of Nazi Germany.

I'm aware of the difference in motivation. My point is that people on both sides become radicalized by violence and therefore the cycle repeats with every generation.

Please remember that innocent Israeli kids were also murdered, albeit in smaller numbers.
