“Well, some of my friends, just like US President Joe Biden, decided that there was no way Israel could have hit the Al-Ahly hospital, and that it was certainly the work of the “other team.”
With this last one, I propose to answer the following questions:
1. Israel regularly bombs religious, educational and medical institutions, this is definitely not a secret to anyone. Only in recent years, the European and Indonesian hospitals in Gaza, Beit Hanoun, Balsam, Al-Aqsa, Al-Awda, Al-Dorra, Al-Shifa, Al-Wafa hospitals have become targets of missile attacks (this is easy to check from the archives of international news channels).
Why did you decide that Israel could not hit the Al-Ahli hospital in the same way as it hit other hospitals before?
2. Just a week ago, Israel indicated the need to evacuate 22 medical institutions in Gaza, thus declaring them a target for attacks. These actions were condemned by the World Health Organization in a statement dated October 14, 2023, because the evacuation of hospital patients without risking their lives is impossible, and there is simply nowhere for them to go.
Doesn't this mean that Israel was planning attacks on Gaza's medical facilities?
3. On the same day, October 14, 2023, Israel struck the cancer center of Al-Ahli Hospital, destroying the diagnostic department and injuring four doctors.
What can you say about this? Maybe it was also a home-made Palestinian rocket?
4. For three days after the first strike, Al-Ahly Hospital received phone calls from Israeli authorities demanding that the facility be immediately evacuated.
5. On October 17, 2023, Israel attacked Gaza, firing numerous rockets at it. The rockets fell at 18:54, 18:55, 18:57, 18:58, and at 18:59, in fact, the much-announced second strike on the Al-Ahli hospital took place.
What, after all this, allows you to say that Israel could not have hit the hospital, and that the Palestinians committed suicide?
You don’t have to answer publicly, or you don’t have to answer me at all.
