Palestinian health authorities in Hamas-controlled Gaza said Israel struck a convoy of ambulances on Friday that was to leave al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and head to the south of the enclave to evacuate injured people.

The IDF is claiming one of the ambulances had Hamas in it. I'm not joking or being sarcastic, that's their official defense for blowing up a bunch of ambulances carrying medical personnel and hospital patients.

Can't wait to hear people explain how Israel is justified because there were Hamas tunnels underground beneath the convoy.

I'm with you. Israel and Hamas are both terrorist organizations filled with war criminals that need to be brought before the international courts of justice. Bold stance. I like it.

It's like when the school bully is the principal's/sheriff's son. Israel feels it can do whatever it likes, because the West is actively encouraging it. Nobody is going to step in and stop it.

The videos of this are horrific. I've never see so much blood.

There are 10s of 1000s of people taking refuge in and around Al-Shifa.

At this point anyone who says this situation is complicated, that rants about the necessity of this "war", or support Zionism and Israel's state are complicit.

There is a lot of them,

This is the best summary I could come up with:


"The occupation targeted the convoy in more than one location outside the door of al-Shifa Hospital," Ashraf al-Qidra the ministry spokesperson said.

He said the convoy was targeted both at the hospital gate and at Ansar Square a kilometer away.

Hamas-run Al-Aqsa television cited the Health Ministry as saying scores of people were killed and injured.

Earlier on Friday, Qidra said ambulances would send critically injured Palestinians who urgently needed care in Egypt from besieged Gaza City to the south of the enclave.

Israel, which has accused Hamas of concealing command centres and tunnel entrances in al-Shifa hospital, ordered all civilians to leave the north of Gaza last month and its military encircled the area on Thursday.

Hamas and al-Shifa hospital authorities have denied the facility is used as a base by militant fighters.


The original article contains 239 words, the summary contains 134 words. Saved 44%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
