Palestinian Red Crescent says one killed, many wounded by Israeli gunfire at Gaza hospital
Is this the hospital that Hamas was shooting at people running out of it? That one guy in the back with his cane needed some help.
EDIT: that was Rantissi/Al Nusr
How many Hamas fighters did they get this time?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
RAMALLAH, Nov 10 (Reuters) - The Palestinian Red Crescent said on Friday that one person was killed and 28 others were wounded in a shooting by Israeli forces at Al-Quds hospital in Gaza, the organisation said.
The majority of the injured were children and two are in critical condition as a result of sniper fire targeting the hospital, a Red Crescent statement said.
Reuters is seeking comment from the Israeli military.

Those Hamas fuckers using innocents. God what a shitty war.
Man, I'm so tired of seeing "human shield" comments. We can't trust Israel's claims when it comes to human shields. They have a track record of lying about it. Check out what happened in the Great March of Return in 2021-- IDF snipers killed 185 unarmed adults and 35 children. Israel claimed each of them were being used as a human shield. However, "human shield" refers to civilian deaths when targeting militants in combat. If all those journalists, medics, children, and unarmed activists were human shields, who were they shielding? Killing that many unarmed protestors would be a war crime, if we bothered to hold a tribunal. Israel is using the fog of war today to make their claims seem reasonable, but just five years ago the IDF showed an undeniable pattern of killing innocent people then lying about it.
Furthermore, if we're going to accept Israel's claims that Hamas is using human shields and their flawed definition of what a "human shield" is, then we also must accept that Israel uses human shields, too. The majority of their military bases are in densely populated areas. Their army broadcasts from a residential tower. The IDF's main HQ is in the middle of a residential and shopping sector in Tel Aviv. Is anyone accusing Israel of using human shields? On the other hand, if Hamas were to level any of those military buildings in residential areas of Israel, is there any doubt in your mind that Hamas would be accused of war crimes?
What this really is is a double standard. Israel uses the "human shield" defense for any civilian they kill in an attempt to give themselves international support under the color of law, but Hamas does not get that privilege and does not attempt to claim it.
The purpose of laws for international war is to create a standard that's applied equally to everyone. Israel (and the US, too) seems to think that standard only applies to their enemies.
Man, I’m so tired of seeing “human shield” comments
I, too, am tired of Hamas purposely encouraging civilian casualties.
On the other hand, if Hamas were to level any of those military buildings in residential areas of Israel, is there any doubt in your mind that Hamas would be accused of war crimes?
They absolutely would be doing this if the Iron Dome did not exist, and sometimes accomplish it even when it does.
Quick reminder this entire shitfestival began with Hamas murdering over a thousand innocent people directly.
oh man hamas are known for being very honourable regarding war crimes. we should defend them.
And that explains innocents getting killed and injured by sniper fire?
Is it really an excuse to kill 10 times as many civilians, most of which are children?
This is your chance to add a /s
This is sniper fire. In the hands of one of the best-trained and most advanced military force on the planet.
Sniper fire. A sniper - a precision weapon used to take out targets with minimal collateral damage.
So, I wonder, why are there 28 wounded, the majority of them children, in a hospital!, when a sniper is the weapon of choice???
In order to wound 28 people, they were either a terrible shot, or they were deliberately targeting innocents and children.
A sniper is supposed to wait for a clear shot and take it only when absolutely sure. This is absolutely sickening.
Revenge.
Imagine being sick enough to consider children a target of revenge.
They didn't say the children were shot. They said they were wounded.
Sniper rifles will shoot through windows, interior walls, equipment, human bodies, etc
Again, as usual, the people to be mad at here are the literal terrorists committing literal war crimes by turning hospitals into battlegrounds
24 times? With a sniper rifle? Come on dude. Spare yourself some dignity and think for a second before you say something that makes zero sense.
OK. Again. 24 times??? Dude. It's a SNIPER. You know, the one where they say "I have a clear shot, I'm taking it". You think they're shooting through walls that many times that (if we assume a crazy high rate of 25% hit children unintentionally because of course they weren't aiming at kids!), that's still 24 * 4 = 96 shots at a hospital? Why not use an assault rifle at that point? With a sniper rifle, you watch, you wait, and you make sure you have a shot before taking it. If you miss, you regroup. There's no mention of a high value target, no mention of Hamas activity inside. If they had that intel, it would be on the news for sure.
No. Not ONCE have they actually confirmed that the target they're after was killed. Every target is a valid target if they say so after the fact. The hospital they bombed and were so sure had a tunnel, was not true .
Sure, Hamas is a rebel force to Israel but the sheer number of collateral damage to kill even a single Hamas soldier is completely out of this world. Even in this scenario, 1 person killed, 24 wounded by sniper fire, and they didn't even confirm who the target was or if they got him.
Lol, are you joking?
So one guy dead, no guarantee he was even a fighter. 24 kids injured. Some other adults, also no idea if they were fighters. How tf is that reasonable collateral for a sniper? This was clearly intentional.
Thats correct , the IDF are the terrorists in this case. Reminding us what the literal and internationally recognised and ratified definition of terrorism and war crimes are . Nothing justifies this barbarity. They are the invaders, they could choose to walk away from the hospitals and the schools and the families and the innocent victims they are now choosing to murder, “wounded” as you claim isn't a big deal, mentally torture, abuse and eventually further radicalise against them. Perhaps thats the intention , because the goal sure as hell isn't peace. This is anti civilization and the world is watching. No one wins from this pornographic inhuman behaviour.
This comment makes no sense at all, dude. How in this wide world do you reckon an Israeli sniper would injure a child in a distant Gazan hospital, if not by shooting?
maybe if you risk shooting children you should wait with taking the shot
