Gaza’s civil defence rescue agency said the strike on al-Ahli al-Arabi Baptist Hospital led to “the destruction of the surgery building and the oxygen generation station for the intensive care units”.

Eyewitnesses say the military threatened to bomb the hospital just minutes before the strikes, giving those in its compounds only 18 minutes to evacuate.

Due to the rushed expulsion, critically ill patients were evacuated out in the cold without proper care.

At least three patients - including a child being treated for head injuries - died as a result. One woman was sleeping in the hospital overnight while she waited for her husbanded to be treated.

    Man, where are their pretend enemies going to secretely hide next? Any schools left standing?

    Real life shouldn’t mimic any part of cartoons really, but especially not the scene where the chef is obsessively chasing one escaped ingredient/pest and ends up destroying the entire dining area in the process.

    Even if one or more of their real enemies are in the building when they explode it, which rarely seems to even be the case, that is not a good excuse to blow up any of these buildings. It would be cheaper and easier to only kill the intended target(s) no matter how good they were hiding.

    Like their excuse is usually that the enemies are using human shields, you’d think by now they would have been able to prove it at least once, I mean, it’s been proven a few times that they themselves are, so we know it’s possible to prove it… but like, isn’t the whole point of human shields that they are actually effective, because the goal is to not kill those people? Not to just use it as an excuse to kill everyone instead of just the bad guys.

    I know, I know, the cruelty is the point and the justification is a lie… but like, how does the lie keep working, it feels like their main hurdle in destroying the cities is just how long they have to wait between killing women and children before attention dies down enough that they can afford to “accidentally” do it again.
