Thousands who were sheltering at Gaza City’s hospitals flee as Israel-Hamas war closes in

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Thousands of Palestinians sheltering from the Israel-Hamas war at Gaza City’s main hospital fled south Friday after several reported strikes in and around the compound overnight. They joined a growing exodus of people escaping intense urban fighting in the north — including near other hospitals — as Gaza officials said the territory’s death toll surpassed 11,000.

The search for safety across the besieged Gaza Strip has grown desperate as Israel intensified its assault on the territory’s largest city.

The Israeli army says Hamas’ military infrastructure is based amid Gaza City’s hospitals and neighborhoods, and that it has set up its main command center in and under the largest hospital, Shifa — claims the militant group and Shifa staff deny.

Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas after its deadly Oct. 7 surprise incursion, which killed at least 1,200.

More than 100,000 Palestinians have fled south over the past two days, according to Israel, but they still face bombardment and dire conditions. Reported strikes on or near at least four hospitals in northern Gaza overnight underscored the danger for tens of thousands more who had crowded into the facilities, believing they would be safe.

The safest places in Gaza is probably the Hamas Clubhouse or the Islamic Jihad Lounge, because there are guaranteed to be no tunnels or bunkers anywhere near.

The way these things go, it is the enemy combatants fleeing, leaving the actual civilians in the war zone for propaganda purposes. But then again, maybe these people realize Hamas’ reign of terror is over, they can evacuate and go on with their lives or die for allah.

Hamas is the democratically elected government of Gaza. Any two-state solution (allowing Israel to exist even in severely curtailed form) has never polled above 50% in Gaza.

Am existential fight with Israel has always been the preferred option of the Gazans.



I say give it to them.

Everything you said is true. Plus, numbers are daunting things. OMG 11,000 Palestinians killed. Does that include, or is it exclusively Hamas fighters? There is a population of 2 million in Gaza.

100,000 fled south, albeit one month after they were warned to leave.

It’s sickening that the AP is carrying the Hamas water. How does the AP get its info, TikTok?

EC

I seem to recall a warning by Israel to move south some time ago. Defiantly ignored or perhaps Hamas prevented any movement. Oh well.

I’m sure many have died, although not necessarily by Israeli hands, but I’m equally sure that their count is overblown.

They were warned to evacuate WEEKS ago.

If they didn’t listen and evacuate the ICU patients and kids, that’s on them.

It isn’t like they weren’t warned, like they did to Israel.

Hamas would not let them leave.

IDF is providing the security and “corridor” for them to leave.

Israel cares more about Gazan everyday people than Hamas or the other Islamos.

What they really mean is that HAMAS is moving in.

Israel is going after the central Hamas operations under that hospital.

Very intense and it’s been going on since it got dark. It just started to calm a bit with dawn.

Israel is apparently going after the hospitals - which means it’s going after Hamas headquarters and tunnel complexes.
