  1. They should have thought about it before they attacked Israel!!!(INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN)
    ✝️🛡️✝️🛡️✝️
    ✡️🕎✡️🕎✡️
    🇺🇸⚔️🇺🇸⚔️🇺🇸
    I THANK GOD THAT I'M AN AMERICAN AND NOT A DEMOCRAT!!!

  2. Gaza has 35 five hospitals. Why such a small area wit small population needs 35 hospitals? Because Gaza hospitals are terrorists infrastructures.

  3. Note to IDF: way to increase your popularity among the world.

  4. Need to check hostages to make sure these Vile doctors in Gaza did not commit experiments on them! Implant trackers!

  5. How many hospitals they need!?

  6. Most military’s in the world wouldn’t use hospitals , playgrounds to hide their military operations in . In the first gulf war the U S military had to clear out bunkers full of ammunition out of a playground that was located next to some apartments complex’s were families lived . Kuwait people were thankful we cleared all the bunkers full of ammunition from the playground.

  7. They call Israel is the only democratic country in the middle east, we see over 6000 children killed and over 4000 women on tv live also youtube

  8. Using a hospital as a staging ground for war and murder is unspeakable. ALL the FAULT IS ON HAMAS for doing so. Blame them for the deaths, loss, misery. May it be even worse for them, should they unfortunately live.

  9. I can't understand how anyone could try to justify this? We are watching a genocide. It's wrong. It's evil and God help anyone who says otherwise.

  10. "What is under the ground is under the ground".

  11. Well they finally arrested Dr. Mengele! What took them so long?

  12. 2 doctors for 200 people is insaaaane😔💔 can’t imagine America like that

  13. Nobody can tell me none of the staff knew what was going on? That would be impossible. They use their own ppl' to protect them.

  14. if theyd stop attacking israel and if theyd heed israels warnings they wouldnt need hospitals so much.

  15. If Not. It will happen elsewhere & again

  16. It's a war, people die in wars. During WW2, more civilians died that soldiers.

  17. Hamas is heartless to make patients and doctors as human shields 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I can’t believe there are people to support them even now after tunnels are discovered below hospital🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

  18. These evil Israelis committing genocide, atrocities on the people of Gaza, set the doctor free

  19. Seems like isreal is trying to make north Gaza un livable so no one can return

  20. What a crock! What if a fire broke out you going to let them burn to death ! Get some common sense 🙄

  21. 24 hospitals in a 25 mile strip that needs humanitarian aid..😮 they have more than enough, I also saw markets open selling food supplies which I suspect was the humanitarian aid..wake up people

  22. Get every soldier, officer, executive, and official arrested and brought before the International Court – bring them up on war crimes and crimes against humanity. The outrage must be so great – that they surrender voluntarily. Put a big aircraft carrier next to Israel and start flexing U.S. muscle in a way that will send a strong message to the rogue and genocidal nation of Israel.

  23. I have better and more pictures then they do .. hit me back if you are interested.. unless you are like the majority and tun a blind eye or prefer to believe the lies government and church and old money tells you .

  24. GOD BLESS ISRAEL 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

  25. Remember, Muslims are encouraged to lie, and they will to get their way. I worked with a group of them — not a good environment– if you cross them, they lie so you lose your reputation.

    Praise Jesus Christ!

  26. All Insane but the Land belongs to the first people there. Not the Israelites !

  27. Israel took the 1 of 2 remaining Drs from the hospital of 200 patients.

    Why the IDF didnt take both Drs from the hospital so only the patients can take care of each other baffles me.

  28. These poor doctors and the sadness surrounding all innocents in harms way is tragic 🙏🙏🙏

  29. The tunnels under the hospital were build by Israel government in 1980
