Some observers commented on the scenes coming from Al-Shifa Medical Complex, saying that the occupation soldiers guaranteed that no one would move, that no one would stop them, and that everything was permissible, so they burned the complex completely, killed the wounded, buried them with their hands tied, exhumed the graves, and surrounded the children, women, and the sick.
It is as if an earthquake with a magnitude of 20 Richter struck the ocean of healing. The extent of the destruction is staggering, literally completely wiping out large areas.

Tweeters said that the Israeli occupation has been waging a war of extermination against the people of Gaza for 6 months, and they called on the peoples of the world to take action to stop the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip after they lost hope from the international community and human rights organizations.
A war of extermination against a defenseless and besieged people for more than 17 years has exceeded imagination. It is broadcast live and is seen by the entire world. The oppressor, the hypocrite, the one with double standards, and does not lift a finger. Everyone participates, either through support, complicity, or silence! You have lost. God bless you, Gaza. #Gaza_resists_and_will_victorious #Al-Shifa_Medical_Complex

It was not an occupying army that passed!
But the Tatars of the era passed from here!
Soldiers have guaranteed that no one will move, no one will stop them, and that everything is permissible!
They completely burned down Al-Shifa Medical Complex!
They killed the wounded and buried them handcuffed!
Exhume the graves!
They besieged children, women, and the sick until some died of hunger and disease! pic.twitter.com/ccgHjcXW0l
