CAIRO (AP) — When the first explosions in Gaza this week started around 1:30 a.m., a visiting British doctor went to the balcony of a hospital in Khan Younis and watched the streaks of missiles light up the night before pounding the city. A Palestinian surgeon next to him gasped, “Oh no. Oh no.”
After two months of ceasefire, the horror of Israeli bombardment was back. The veteran surgeon told the visiting doctor, Sakib Rokadiya, they’d better head to the emergency ward.
Torn bodies soon streamed in, carried by ambulances, donkey carts or in the arms of terrified relatives. What stunned doctors was the number of children.
“Just child after child, young patient after young patient,” Rokadiya said. “The vast, vast majority were women, children, the elderly.”
This was the start of a chaotic 24 hours at Nasser Hospital, the largest hospital in southern Gaza. Israel shattered the ceasefire in place since mid-January with a surprise barrage that began early Tuesday and was meant to pressure Hamas into releasing more hostages and accepting changes in the truce’s terms. It turned into one of the deadliest days in the 17-month war.
The aerial attacks killed 409 people across Gaza, including 173 children and 88 women, and hundreds more were wounded, according to the territory’s Health Ministry, whose count does not differentiate between militants and civilians.

Why feel bad for them? They reap what they sow.
It’s the AP. Read with caution - then disbelieve.
Hamas and their ilk have a history of hiding behind women and children in order to shield themselves and their infrastructure from attack.
AP = Always Propaganda
That is a posed picture.
Quit trying to destroy Israel.
I feel for the children, and I wish the adults a speedy trip to hell
Exactly. Proven liars at it again. In any case Hamas created this situation and bears full responsibility.
I recognize a few of them from before. They are frequent dyers.
EC
Hamas’s fault
When I saw the headline I guessed this was the AP.
I clicked the link and yep.
Without question.
As soon as I saw the AP authored it, I passed on it.
Yes. Indeed, they have played this exact game many times before. They will keep playing it as “there’s a sucker born every minute.”

First he is a reporter for AP then he is a visiting doctor. CAUGHT in LIE. Both Sakib Rokadiya and AP!
I saw close up explosion of the strike on the hospital. There would not be "injured" children, brought in by donkeys. There would be ZERO survivors. The bombing took place in the middle of the night. The entire huge building was flattened.
A guy on twatter got upset with me (this was a couple of months ago) for saying that in my opinion, Israel was being WAYYYYY too nice - he responded with the usual “you want to see innocent babies die!” etc etc etc. (Spoiler: No, I really DON’T want to see innocent babies or anyone else die as a result of terrorism, but it’s no use to argue with an idiot.)
So one of the replies on this conversation was a laconic: “Who started it?”
WHO STARTED IT?!
