The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli forces opened fire inside the wards of the Ibn Sina Hospital in the town of Jenin. The ministry condemned the raid and called on the international community to pressure Israel’s military to halt such operations in hospitals. A hospital spokesperson said there was no exchange of fire, indicating that it was a targeted killing.
Footage said to be security camera video from the hospital that circulated on social media showed about a dozen undercover forces, most of them armed, dressed as women with Muslim headscarves or hospital staff in scrubs or white doctor’s coats. One in a surgical mask carried a rifle in one arm and a folded wheelchair in the other. The forces were seen patting down one man who kneeled against a wall, his arms raised.
Remember when there was public debate about the morality of bombing Al-Shifa, because Hamas “100% has a command bunker bro, look we made a graphics render to prove it” and now… this? A hit squad storming into a hospital, and murdering three people.
Targeted killings don’t work to stop a movement, unless genocide is still on the table - you cannot kill away the Palestinian/Kurdish/Tigray/Tamil/etc problem. You can blunt a movement temporarily, but the mid level leaders invariably get replaced by more hardline extremists. That is how we ended up with Hamas/PIJ/Lions Den/etc after the Fedayeen were murdered/suppressed and that rage went somewhere… right into the arms of Iran.
