No place is safe as Israel kills dozens of civilians in central areas in Gaza as the IDF launches into Gaza with tanks and American made warfare.
This was the one of the most intense Israeli bombardments since Israel launched its war on Palestine. Which locals say is an invasion as residents of Gaza are being forced to give up their homes and leave the area or face extermination.
Israel has launched the hannibal directive, which means there’s no safe place for any Palestinians in Gaza.
What is the Hannibal Directive?
The Gaza Civil Emergency Service says it believes a number of people have been killed but has so far been unable to reach them because of fighting in several districts in the east and west of Gaza City.
Israel attacks another hospital
The Al-Ahli Baptist hospital is reported to have been evacuated, with its patients being taken to one of the only medical facilities still functioning in the area – the already overcrowded Indonesian hospital.
At least 16 people have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a UN-run school in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials have said and dozens more have been injured.
The building was sheltering thousands of displaced people at Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Israel kills dozens of civilians is the headline that should be on every national newspaper. But it wasn’t, The new Prime Minister didn’t even mention it in his tweets, yet he made a personal statement against the Russian aggression in Ukraine.
The double standards was trending on social media with Lowkey, an artist writing, “the most depraved is you”.
Why is Israel bombing hospitals?
Israel is bombing hospitals to force an evacuation of the area. During a war or invasions hospitals are usually safe zones and form a central hub for the civilians.
Clearing areas and bombing hospitals is a strategic advantage to Israel; which in simple terms means residents will not be able to return to the area once they have left, especially ones which have no medical, educational or relief agencies.
Palestinians can’t survive without aid agencies, there land is closed off like a concentration camp, there date & olive farms have been taking over and there homes and communities have been bombed.
Charities and NGO have to also clear out and set up new temporary accomodation to house the dying children and with that the Palestinians have to migrate.
Emptying the area of Palestinians ensures Israeli bulldozers can enter the zone and start taking over the land as they have done in past or completely destroy it so no it becomes uninhabitable.
There are currently ZERO functioning hospitals in #Gaza City. If you get injured: You die.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued evacuation orders for several neighbourhoods in the centre. However, the kill zone has now been moved to Tel al-Hawa, was not included in the evacuation order.
As civilians moved into the Tel al-Hawa Israelis started bombarding the city killing indiscriminately.
Abdel Ghani asked: “The enemy is behind us and the sea is in front of us, where shall we go?” The BBC reports that they have been told by Palestinians that they do not know where to go.
Apartheid and land grabbing in the West Bank
Under the cover of the Gaza invasion Israel is also advancing its settlements in the West Bank. In fact, Israel is raging a full blown military war against Palestinians in the West Bank.
While settlers are moving in violently and taking over Palestinian homes and land in the West Bank.
In Jerusalem the Israeli police and courts are forcing apartheid tactics, ‘land grabbing’ and taking the last remaining homes from Palestinians even though they have Israeli citizenship.
Israel is operating under a strict timeline, knowing that it must make all advances quickly and swiftly and it must broker a truce before the US Presidential election in November.
There has been a media blackout: no mainstream British newspaper has covered this story apart from the BBC. Humanitarian and aid workers have voiced their outrage at violence after the killing of more innocent civilians and children by Israel.
Some quick answers
What is the Hannibal Directive?
The Hannibal directive mandates that the IDF use any means necessary to prevent the capture of Israeli soldiers (and civilians), even if it involves killing them.
It is a barbaric directive and is a war crime.
