Palestine (((Aggression)))

(1945) The Nakba

During the 1948 Palestine War, 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed by Irgun and Hagenah militia groups under the orders of Jewish Agency leader and future prime minister David Ben-Gurion, orchestrated in what was called Plan Dalet. 1000 were killed in the year after the war, when Palestinian refugees tried to return home. According to Israeli historian Benny Morris, Zionist forces perpetrated 24 massacres of Palestinians throughout. IDF veterans gleefully recolect killing of Paestinian civilians during this time. Between 1949 and 1956, Zionist forces killed as many as 5,000 Arabs.

Lydde Death March - The forced expulsion of approximately 50.000 to 70.000 Palestinian residents from the cities of Lydda (now Lod) and Ramla over several days. The Israeli military gave the residents of Lydde an ultimatum to leave within half an hour. Most able-bodied men were detained and sent to prison camps, not including 175 to 250 who were killin inside the cities great mosque, leaving mostly women, children, and the elderly being forced to march on foot for 15 to 25 kilometers under the summer heat to reach the Arab Legion lines near Ramallah. Between hundreds to over a thousand died along the rugged path due to extreme thirst, dehydration, and sheer physical exhaustion. Testimonies often mention low-flying Israeli military planes hovering over the marching lines, forcing civilians to keep moving.

Saqiya Massacre - Haganah forces kill 14 people in Saqiya Jaffer.

Tantura Massacre - Carried out by Haganah's Alexandroni Brigade during a night raid; dollowing Tantura's surrender, Israeli forces rounded up the population on the beach. Women and children were separated from young men aged roughly 13 to 30. Groups of young men were lined up against walls or open spaces and systematically executed. Historical estimates of the dead range from several dozen to over 200 Palestinians.

Sa'Sa Massacre - During the 1948 Palestine war, two massacres were perpetrated by Haganah in the Palestinian village of Sa'sa'. The first occurred on the night of 14-15 February 1948, when Palmach, Haganah's elite unit forces, attacked the village killing approximately 60 people. The second massacre occurred on 30 October 1948 when the village was conquered by the Israeli military as part of Operation Hiram.

Saf'Saf Massacre - After the IDF took the village of Saf'Saf in Galalee 50–70 villagers were killed. Evidence suggests that 52 men had their hands tied, were shot and killed, before being buried in a pit. Several women reported allegations of rape by the IDF, including the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl. At least two internal inquiries were initiated during 1948–49 by the IDF, but their reports remain classified.

Qibya massacre - Using an attack which killed an Israeli mother and her two children as a pretext, Colonel Ariel Sharon's Commando Unit 101 rampaged through Qibya, blowing up house by house and killing 69 people, most of them women and children.

Dier Yasin Massacre - The Deir Yasin massacre was carried out by approximately 120 to 130 fighters from the Irgun and Lehi, (the Stern Gang) with Haganah providing artillery support and helped secure the area. Historians agree that between 107 and 120 villagers were killed, including dozens of women, children, and elderly people

Baby in oven - Othman Akkel's testimony of what he experienced during the Nakba.

Operation Cast Thy Bread - Operation Cast Thy Bread involved the deliberate contamination of drinking water wells with biological pathogens,primarily typhoid and dysentery bacteria, in Arab villages and towns. The historical details of the operation were uncovered by Israeli historians Benny Morris and Benjamin Z. Kedar following the partial declassification of military archives.

Suez Crisis

🇵🇸 Khan Yunis massacre - In 1956, during the Suez Crisis, the IDF executed 275 in the town of Khan Yunis and 111 in Rafah.

(1967) Six Day War

With Lyndon Johnson as president, UN peace keeping forces are removed from the Egyptian border. Israel bombs Egyptian airforce with intelligence from James Angleton, head of CIA counter inteligence. Israel takes the land back from Egypt and Jordan (Gaza, Sinai, the west bank/East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights) According to Israel's own estimates, the Six Day War of June 1967 produced as many as 250,000 refugees.

(2002) Op Defensive Shield 

Large-scale counter-terrorist operation conducted by the IDF into Palestinian towns and villages in the West Bank aimed to halt Palestinian suicide bombings against civilians in Israel during the Second Intifada, which results in extensive damage to terrorist infrastructure and an important decrease of Palestinian attacks.

Op Summer Rains

(2007) Op Orchard

An airstrike in northern Syria against an alleged nuclear site. Israel was blamed for the incident and never admitted to the attack until 2018.

Cast Lead (2008)

After humiliation in Lebanon, Israel took out its frustration on Gaza's civilian populatoin. Between 2,100 and 3,540 residential buildings were destroyed.

''We will wield disproportionate power against every village from which shots are fired at Israel, and cause immense damage and destruction. What happened in the Dehiya quarter of Beirut in 2006 will happen in every village from which Israel is fired on. This isn't a suggestion, this is a plan that has already been authorized.'' - Gadi Eizenkot, Head of IDF Northern Command.

''The IDF should decide on a neighborhood in gaza and level it.'' - Meir Sheetrit, Interior Minister

According to the UN fact-finding mission following the 2008 invasion the purpose was simply ''to punish humiliate and terrorize a civilian population.'' 

''It should be possible to destroy gaza so they will understand not to mess with us. It is a great opportunity to demolish thousands of houses thousands of houses tunnels and industries will be demolished.'' - Eli Yishai, Deputy Prime Minister

(2010) Op Sea Breeze

An operation carried out by the IDF frogmen, Shayetet 13, in the international waters of the Mediterranean Sea, 66 miles outside of Israel's territorial waters, in which Israeli forces boarded the Gaza Freedom Flotilla of six ships carrying international activists whom were planning to break the Israeli and Egyptian blockade of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid. During the takeover of the ships, bulletproof vests, night-vision goggles and gas masks were found on the ship. A violent confrontation developed between the soldiers and the activists aboard the main ship of the convoy, the "MV Mavi Marmara", which resulted in the killing of at least nine activists. According to the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, 8 of the 9 passengers killed belonged to IHH, a Turkish-based charity organization accused of having ties to Hamas and Al-Qaeda by Israeli and French intelligence officials.

(2011) Gaza Strip airstrikes 

A series of targeted killings and raids on PRC targets in Gaza, in response to attacks on southern Israel.

(2012) Op Returning Echo 

A series of Palestinian rocket attacks and Israeli reprisals following the targeted killing of PRC chief.

Op Pillar of Defense 

In response to over a hundred rocket attacks on southern Israeli cities, Israel began an operation in Gaza with the targeted killing of Ahmed Jabari, chief of Hamas military wing, and airstrikes against twenty underground sites housing long-range missile launchers capable of striking Tel Aviv. About 1,500 targets were attacked over eight days.

(2014) Protective Edge

The IDF ended Operation Brother's Keeper, which brought tension in the region and increased rocket fire from Gaza at Israel and commenced Operation Protective Edge to retaliate on rocket fire.

Israel banned human rights organizations from entering Gaza during and after the war.

2,200 Gazans killed, 1,500 of which were civilians and 550 were children.

18,000 Gazan homes were destroyed.

Schools

Israel destorys 22 schools and damaged 118 others, claming they held Hamas weapons, which human rights groups and the UN debunked. They also targeted UN run schools being used to shelter civilians: UN elementary school in Beit Hanoun, killing 13, a UN boys' school in Rafah, killing 12, a UN girls elementary school in Jabalya, killing 20. The precise location of the Jabalia girls school was communicated to the Israeli army 17 times, according to UNRWA. Israel possesed GPS coordinates of all of these facilites. Plus, UN Relief and Works Agency sent twice daily communications to Israel's coordinator of the government activities in the territories and coordination and liaison administration, informing them of the global positioning system coordinates of premises currently being used as designated emergency shelters. 

Hospitals

Israel destoryed or damaged 17 hospitals, 56 primary care facilites and 45 ambulences. Gaza's only rehab centre, al-Wafaa hospital was completely destroyed. To justify this, Israel tweeted a photo alleging a rocket to be fired from  al-Wafaa, but Amnasty Inernational found that the image did not match satalite imaged of al-Wafaa, appearing to depict a different location entirely.

IDF soldier: '''See that house on the left? shoot it' Boom, we shoot it, and for no reason at all. There was no intelligence on that house, my platoon commander and I just chose it. ...and so every tank just fired wherever it wanted to and people lived there, but still nobody fired at us. We were just shooting for no reason.''

(2023– ) Gaza War

Visual evidence of dead civilians (GORE WARNING)

Intent

Bibi - Netenyahiu to The Jerusalem Post: "We are destroying more and more homes. They have nowhere to return to. The only inevitable outcome will be the desire of Gazins to immigrate outside of the Gaza Strip.''

Yediyo Aharonot - Writing in the Yediyo Aharonot newspaper, reservist Major General and Defense Analyst Giora Island wrote in plain language the benefits of intentionally causing a humanitarian crisis. In a piece titled, This is not revenge, it's either us or them: ''The state of Israel has no choice but to make Gaza a place that is temporarily or permanently impossible to live in. Every building will be a military target. Further, not to be content with stopping the flow of electricity, diesel and water to Gaza, but to gradually attack targets that provide these essential needs, and if necessary, also to block with fire any vehicle passage from the city of Rafah to the north. Creating a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza is a necessary means to achieve the goal.''

Daniel Hagari - Rear admiral, Daniel Hagari: ''the emphasis is on damage and not accuracy''

Anonymous contacts - Veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, citing his Israeli contacts: ''With the starved-out civilian population forced to leave, the Israeli operational plan calls for the Air Force to destroy the remaining structures in Gaza City and elsewhere in the north. Gaza City will be no more... Afterwards, Israel will begin dropping American-made 5,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, also known as JDAMs.''

Tally Gotliv - Israeli lawyer and member of the Knesset for the Likud, Tally Gotliv: "Jericho Missile! Jericho Missile! Strategic alert. before considering the introduction of forces. Doomsday weapon! This is my opinion. May God preserve all our strength," "I urge you to do everything and use Doomsday weapons fearlessly against our enemies," adding that Israel "must use everything in its arsenal.""Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country's dignity, strength and security!" Gotliv posted. "It's time to kiss doomsday. Shooting powerful missiles without limit. Not flattening a neighbourhood. Crushing and flattening Gaza. ... without mercy! without mercy!"

Ariel Kallner - Knesset member, Ariel Kallner: ''Right now, one target, Nakba, a Nakba that dwarfs the Nakba of '48.''

Ehud Olmert - Former Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert wrote In Haaretz: ''the position of senior government figures is public and clear. Yes, we've been denying Gazin's food, medicine, and basic living needs as part of an explicit policy. Netanyahu typically is trying to blur the type of orders he's been giving in order to evade legal and criminal responsibility in due course. But some of his lackeyis are saying so outright in public, even with pride. Yes, we will starve out Gaza because all Gazins are Hamas. There's no moral or operational limitation on exterminating them all. Over 2 million people.''

Giora Eiland/Smotrich - Formor National security advisor to Aeial Shiron and Ehud Olmert, Giora Eiland. He wrote an opinion piece known as the Generals Plan, calling for inducing epidemics of disease and making the Gaza strip uninhabitable: ''The international community warns us of a humanitarian disaster in Gaza and of severe epidemics. We must not shy away from this, with all the difficulty involved. After all, severe plagues in the sout he Gaza Strip will bring victory closer and reduce casualties among the IDF soldiers. No, this is not cruelty for its own sake, since we do not support the suffering of the other side as a goal but as a means.'' 

Smotrich, shared the article on X, expressing his agreement.

Ghassan Alian - Ghassan Alian, head of COGAT, speaking in Arabic: ''Human animals are dealt with accordingly. Israel has imposed a total blockade on Gaza, no electricity, no water, just damage. You wanted hell, you will get hell.''

Death toll

The Gaza Health Ministry's death toll as of march 2025 is estimated at 75,000, not including missing people, those who starved to death, died of disentary and disease, or babies which died in incubators and hospital patients when Israel cut off the electricity. (It is had to gague due to Israel's blockade) In January 2026, IDF officials briefed journalists that this number was considered broadly accurate. previously, the IDF had counted only military targets.

Accounding for descrepencies, the toll is estimated at 130,000. (Untangling Threads on Substack)

In one week, Israel killed more Palestinians than during the entire 50-day 2014 war, in which 2,200 people were killed, including over 500 children. Israeli military has itself relies almost exclusively on data from the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza. According to UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories Francesca Albanese, 70% of recorded deaths have consistently been women and children. Israel failed to prove that the remaining 30%, i.e. adult males, were active Hamas combatants. By early December, Israel's security advisors claimed the killing of 7,000 terrorists, in a stage of the campaign when less than 5,000 adult males in total had been identified among the casualties, thus implying that all adult males killed were terrorists.

Infrastructure

92% of Infrastructure damaged or destroyed. Sewage facilities were hit, leaving solid waste accumulating in the streets. 

The Jabalia refugee camp, according to AP, was been razed to the ground. The camp had a population of 100,000 in just one half of one square mile. Its population density was higher than that of Manila, the highest of any city in the world.

Shutting off electricity

Israel cut off its main electricity supplies to the Gaza Strip on 8 October 2023, one day after the Hamas-led attacks on Israel. This action was part of a "complete siege" declared on the territory, which also included the blocking of food, water, and fuel imports. Following this Israeli cutoff, Gaza's sole power plant was forced to shut down completely on 11 October 2023 due to a lack of fuel, resulting in a widespread electricity blackout across the region. While some limited power was temporarily restored to specific infrastructure (such as a wastewater treatment facility and a desalination plant) in late 2024, Israel officially ordered the immediate halt of its remaining electricity supply to these facilities in March 2025. The only facility that had been reconnected to the Israeli power grid since October 2023 was the central water desalination plant in Gaza City. But in March 2025, Israel announced that power supply to that facility was also cut off. The Israeli military destroyed 84% of Gaza's water facilities, including those intended for drinking water and others for hygiene, sewage treatment, irrigation, and similar needs.

An infants found decomposing at Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital in Gaza City died from oxygen and life-support deprivation after hospital staff were forcibly evacuated by Israeli military forces. Their remains were left behind in the intensive care unit and decayed over several weeks.

Al-Shifa Hospital (Northern Gaza) - During the siege in November 2023, the facility's neonatal intensive care unit ran out of fuel, turning off incubators and oxygen supplies, resulting in the deaths of multiple premature babies prior to the forced evacuation of survivors. Medics were forced to wrap the vulnerable infants in thermal blankets and foil in an attempt to keep them warm.

Al-Nasr Hospital (Northern Gaza) - Following frenzied evacuations in late 2023, several infants dependent on life support and incubators were tragically left behind in the ICU and later found deceased.

Southern Hospitals (Nasser, Al-Aqsa, and others) - As displaced populations swelled and fighting moved south, hospitals in Khan Younis and central Gaza repeatedly faced total blackouts due to fuel blockades. Doctors have warned of babies freezing to death in severe winter conditions and facing imminent demise when backup generators run dry.

David Nott testemoy - Trauma surgeon named David Nott who wrote for The Economist: ''Working at the only functioning hospital in Rafa, there were some 40 beds for 2,000 patients. Many had wounds that had been stitched but fallen apart, dressed with soden gaues, stinking of pus and bacteria. All were malnourished, further weakening their immunity and the normal healing process. As for medicine, allarmacies had closed down and there were no drugs. As a result, there was no access to daily medications for people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and those with cardiological, renal, oncological, and hematological diseases. Some children could not breathe owing to the effects of simple chest infections that had progressed and turned their lungs into pools of pus. For the first time in my life, I found myself clinically diagnosing this awful condition, something you would read about in a medical book in the 19th century, in young children. Next to one six-year-old, I found half a liter of pus in the drain bottle.''

Air strikes

(Ordering to safe zones before bombing them)

Of the roughly 500 2,000-pound bombs dropped by Israel in the first six weeks of hostilities, 42% were deployed in the designated safe zones in southern areas. As a result, by October 28th, two weeks after Israel's mass evacuation order, about 38% of killings in Gaza occurred in the declared safe zones. By January 22nd, 42% were located in the area, which by then held the majority of the Gaza population.

UNICEF reported that of the 563 school buildings in Gaza, 212 have been were hit by bombs, 165 in areas designated for evacuation by the Israeli military.

The Karim Abu Salem crossing has much wider capacity to scan and process cargo, but Israeli authorities did not made it fully operational. The Eretz crossing remains closed, making it impossible to reach north Gaza without having to cross the entire strip under constant Israeli bombing.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galen ordered over one million residents in Gaza's north to relocate south or be killed: ''Those who want to save their life, please go south.'' 

The NYT reports that while fleeing, an Israeli airstrike struck a convoy of vehicles trying to flee the north along a main highway, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza, killing 70 people and injuring 200. 

Benjamin Netanyahu also said that he would ''operate forcefully everywhere.'' Due to Israel enforcing a total blockade, Gazans were unable to flee to Israel, so many sought Egypt, but the Israeli Air Force repeatedly bombed their only way out at Rafah Crossing, effectively trapping them inside.

On Dec 1st the IDF published a map dividing Gaza into zones according to recognizable areas, to be referenced in evacuation enouncements on "various media outlets," (𓃠) not that most refugees have internet access. The Israeli army has not only cut off electricity to Gaza but also targeted and damaged its already temperamental mobile network, thus leaving most of the people there with almost no access to the internet.

The leaflets that were dropped over the weekend are also not worth the paper they were printed on. The QR code on them is of use only if there is a working phone with a charged battery and internet access.

Discrepancies of different maps being shared by Israeli officials have also resulted in additional confusion. Areas marked for targeting in orange did not even correspond with the numbers of blocks officials were telling people to evacuate from.

Initial Push Southward: In October 2023, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ordered over one million residents of northern Gaza to evacuate south of Wadi Gaza for their safety. Despite these directives, southern cities like Khan Younis and Rafah were subjected to continuous, intensifying airstrikes immediately after the mass migration.

Targeting of Transit Routes: Fleeing civilians utilizing designated "safe routes," such as Salah al-Din Street, have faced deadly attacks. For instance, a BBC Verify investigation confirmed a fatal strike on a civilian convoy along one of these mandated evacuation paths.

The Humanitarian and Safe Zones: Areas repeatedly designated by Israel as humanitarian safe havens—such as the coastal strip of al-Mawasi, parts of Deir al-Balah, and the city of Rafah—have been routinely targeted by airstrikes and subsequent ground incursions. Independent analyses, including a CNN investigative report, verified multiple specific Israeli strikes hitting civilian blocks that the IDF had explicitly directed families to escape to.

Salah al-Din - Israel designated Salah al-Din Street as a “safe corridor,” into the south of Gaza, despite having dead palestininans along it.

Ground troops killing civilians

Holy family Church - In 2023, Church  parishoners, Samar Anton and her mother, Nahida were shot dead in the church by an Israeli sniper, while one tried to carry the other to saferty. Seven others taking refuge in the church were wounded.

Hand cuffed women and children buried alive - In 2024 a press conference by Hamas's Civil Defense Service relayed the discovery of 392 bodies from the the grounds of Nasser hospital, some of which having been handcuffed, blindfolded and put into plastic bags, with suspicions that they had been buried alive. There were also indications that their organs had been stolen. (𓃠)

Hind Rajab - In 2024 Hind Rajab was fleeing Gaza City with six family members when their car came under fire. She survived the initial attack, hiding among the bodies of her relatives, and spent hours pleading for help over the phone with emergency workers at the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS). A PRCS ambulance was dispatched to save her. After receiving coordinates and clearance to approach, the ambulance and the two paramedics inside were also killed by Israeli tank fire as they neared the scene.

Doghmosh family massacre - Daniel Raab, a former varsity basketball player from a Chicago suburb who became an Israeli sniper, showed no hesitation as he watches footage of 19-year-old Salem Doghmosh crumpling to the ground beside his brother in a street in northern Gaza. “That was my first elimination,” he says. The Palestinian teenager appears to be unarmed when he is shot in the head. Raab concedes he knew that. He says he shot Salem simply because he tried to retrieve the body of his beloved older brother Mohammed. “It’s hard for me to understand why he [did that] and it also doesn’t really interest me,” Raab says in a video interview posted on X. “I mean, what was so important about that corpse?” “They’re thinking: ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon and all that, but they were wrong,” said Raab, who majored in biology at the University of Illinois before joining the Israel Defense Forces. “That’s what you have snipers for.” After Salem was shot, his father, Montasser, 51, rushed to the site, and tried to collect his sons’ bodies for burial, but was also fatally injured by a sniper. Raab says that ''women and children are a whole debate with command''.

Abu Ahmed - Abu Ahmed followed Israeli occupation forces instructions and leaves his home holding a white flag. His son came with him and is shot in the head by fascist Israeli soldiers.

7/30 - On July 30, Israeli forces opened fire near the Netzarim and Murag corridors, killing 49 Palestinians in a single day as they attempted to reach newly permitted aid trucks.

Netzarim corridor - The Netzarim corridor stretches from Kibbutz Be'eri to the Mediterranean Coast it has been completely demolished and everyone living there has been forced out. IDF soldiers who served in Gaza told Haaretz that anyone who crosses an imaginary line in the contested Netzarim corridor is shot to death with every Palestinian casualty counting as a terrorist even if they were just a child. The forces in the field call it the line of dead bodies. Brigadier General Yehuda Vak declared there are no Innocents in Gaza according to an officer who spoke to Haaretz.

Haaretz quoting a senior officer in southern command: ''it's astonishing to hear the reports after every operation regarding how many terrorists were killed he says explaining you don't need to be a genius to realize that you don't have hundreds or dozens of armed men running through the streets of Khan Yunis or Jabalia fighting the IDF.''

Division 252 commander: ''after shootings, bodies are not collected, attracting packs of dogs who come to eat them. In Gaza people know that wherever you see these dogs, that's where you must not go.''

Senior officer in division 252: ''The division Commander designated this area a kill zone. anyone who enters is shot.''

Division 252 officer: ''For the division, the Kill Zone extends as far as a sniper can see, but the the issue goes beyond geography. We're killing civilians there who are then counted as terrorists. The IDF spokesperson's announcements about casualty numbers have turned this into a competition between units. If division 99 kills 150 people the next unit aims for 200.''

Division 252 veteran: ''The order was clear anyone crossing the bridge into the Netzarim corridor gets a bullet in the head... One time guards spotted someone approaching from the south. We responded as if it was a large militant raid. We took positions and just open fire. I'm talking about dozens of bullets, maybe more, for about a minute or two we just kept shooting at the body. People around me were shooting and laughing... We approached the blood covered body, photographed it and took the phone. He was just a boy, Maybe 16. An intelligence officer collected the items and hours later the fighters learned the boy wasn't a Hamas operative, but just a civilian. That evening our Battalion Commander congratulated us for killing a terrorist, saying he hoped we'd kill 10 more tomorrow. When someone pointed out that he was unarmed and looked like a civilian, everyone shouted him down. The commander said 'anyone crossing the line is a terrorist. No exceptions. No civilians. Everyone's a terrorist.'''

Officer in division 22's command recalling when the IDF spokesperson announced their forces had killed over 200 'militants': ''Standard procedure requires photographing bodies and collecting details when possible, then sending evidence to intelligence to verify militant status or at least confirm they were killed by the IDF. Of those 200 casualties, only 10 were confirmed as known Hamas operatives, yet no one questioned the Public Announcement about killing hundreds of militants.''

Another fighter describes witnessing four unarmed people walking normally, spotted by a surveillance drone. Despite clearly not appearing as militants, a tank advanced an open fire with its machine gun. He recalls: ''Three died immediately. The sight haunts me. While the fourth survived and raised his hands in surrender, we put him in a cage, set up near our position, stripped off his clothes and left him there. Soldiers passing by spat on him. It was disgusting. Finally, a military interrogator came, questioned him briefly while holding a gun to his head, then ordered his release. The man had simply been trying to reach his uncles in Northern Gaza. Later officers praised us for killing terrorists.''

Reservist from division 99 describes watching a drone feed showing an adult with two children crossing the Forbidden line: ''they were walking unarmed, seemingly searching for something. We had them under complete surveillance with the Drone and weapons aimed at them they couldn't do anything. Suddenly we heard a massive explosion. A combat helicopter had fired a missile at them. Who thinks it's legitimate to fire a missile at children and with a helicopter this is pure evil.''

NYT: ''while our editors have photographs to corroborate the CT scan images because of their graphic nature we decided these photos of children with gunshot wounds to the head or neck were too horrific for publication''

Dr Sidwa is a trauma and general surgeon who worked at the European Hospital in Khan Yunis, Gaza: ''I volunteered in Ukraine and Haiti and I grew up in Flint Michigan. I've seen violence and worked in Conflict zones but of the many things that stood out about working in a hospital in Gaza, one got to me. Nearly every day I was there I saw a new young child who had been shot in the head or the chest. Virtually all of whom went on to die, 13 in total... after returning home I met an emergency medicine physician who had worked in a different hospital in Gaza 2 months before me. I couldn't believe the number of kids I saw shot in the head, I told him. To my surprise, he responded, 'yeah me too, every single day.'''

Sidwa interviewed 65 doctors, nurses and paramedics who had been in Gaza. 44 of them saw multiple cases of pre-teen children who had been shot in the head or chest in Gaza.
