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.
When I saw this pop up yesterday, I was really hoping this was fake/a constructed narrative based around physical facts on the ground in an information restricted war zone
I keep finding myself going “no fucking way that’s true, that has to be anti-Semitic propaganda” at stories like this, and more often than not I am proven wrong - yes it’s real, yet the truth doesn’t matter
Israel has been doing this heinos shit for DECADES. it’s just that Western media has finally decided they cant whitewash it all anymore. They do where they can, but with everyone in Gaza filming what they can, there is just no hiding the barbarity of the IDF.
