The weekend massacre is here, it never ends.

Chaotic scenes as Israeli bombing casualties rushed to Deir el-Balah hospital

Just in an instant, in the span of just a few minutes, the scene in Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah turned from being very quiet to quite chaotic.

The courtyard of the hospital is overcrowded with people rushed from the nearby evacuation shelter.

At least three bombs fell on the shelter; almost every single ambulance here, including civilian vehicles, rushed to the site where many displaced families are sheltering.

This is beyond catastrophic and tragic.

The fact that we’re seeing many civilians arriving in the ambulance, either fully soaked in blood or in pieces, killed, is just an indication that the Israeli military is not showing any slowdown or any letup in the attacks across the Gaza Strip.

This is happening mainly here in the central area, where we see the vast majority of displaced families have been pushed into this area, more recently from Khan Younis and Rafah cities.

But the one thing we are certain about is the kind of injuries here that we’re seeing have been subjugated to lethal weapons.

The kind of bombs that are dropped, unpredictable rockets and missiles and bombs falling on their homes and shelters, they are packed with shrapnel, they’re packed with nails, they’re packed with little pieces of metal.

“Hamas terrorists used the compound as a hiding place to direct and plan numerous attacks” against Israeli troops and Israel, the army said without providing evidence, adding, “In parallel, the terrorists developed and stored large quantities of weapons inside the compound.”
