The young man, bound by zip-tie cuffs, delivered his Israeli captors’ message but was shot as he tried to walk out of the hospital gate.
In a video taken shortly after his arrival, his eyes are wide, dazed, and scared all at once. He had something to tell the thousands sheltering at the facility.
A crowd gathered around, according to Mohammed El Helou, one of the only remaining Palestinian journalists in the hospital, and the young handcuffed man said that the Israeli military had sent him with a message.
“Get out of the hospital, you need to get out of the hospital because they are going to blow it up.”
Abu Al-Ola was killed shortly after walking out of the hospital. According to El Helou, he was shot by an Israeli soldier three times in his chest and abdomen while still inside the gates of the hospital.
Al Serr, the Nasser Hospital doctor, confirmed the account of Abu Al-Ola being killed as he left the hospital. El Helou later got footage of Abu Al-Ola’s corpse in a body bag, still robed in his PPE.
It’s the first time I’m ashamed of my country and I hate my government and the press in my country for supporting this genocide. And the Israelis speak openly about their genocidal intentions.
The ICJ ruled that there is plausible risk of genocide and ordered to stop killing palestinians and give humanitarian aid. Instead Israel puts out accusations without evidence and the western “civilized” countries cut off humanitarian aid. It’s aiding in genocide. They are making my country complicit in genocide.
The atrocities started long before Okt.7 and I just don’t care about it, they have killed 30 times as many civilians at least now. And they mutilated and traumatized many times more than that. There is no justification. Especially not if you’re the vastly more powerful side.
