al-Ahli Arab National Hospital Bombed in Gaza, over 1500 casualties.



Hundreds more are buried under rubble. In a shocking development in central Gaza, over 1,000 casualties resulted from Israel bombing the al-Ahli Arab National Hospital. At the same time, two refugee camps were slammed with explosive weapons and unknown numbers are dead. UN facilities have been decimated.

“President Mahmoud Abbas declared that three days of mourning will be observed throughout Palestine for the victims of the brutal Israeli airstrike on al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza Strip. President Abbas also ordered flags to be lowered to half-mast as a sign of mourning for the victims of aggression at the al-Ahli hospital and for all the people who died as a result of the occupation,” said a statement from the Palestinian leader.

An overflow of patients from the Arab National Hospital and the UN School hit at the same time has been flowing into Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza where supplies are all but depleted.

Accused Antony Blinken on 17 October 2023, said the the USA and Israel “have agreed to develop a plan that will enable humanitarian aid from donor nations and multilateral organizations to reach civilians in Gaza.” But Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that “Israel will bomb any convoys that try to enter Gaza”.

Video of savage massacre at Ahli Arab National Hospital

The RINJ Foundation has been given video from the actual attack on the night of 17 October taken from a building nearby the al Ahli Arab National (Baptist) Hospital run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, which was slammed with the same type of weapon the Israelis used to destroy buildings across the Gaza strip. Thousands of Palestinians from the north Gaza area had sought shelter amid the Israeli Gaza Genocide campaign. Many are buried in the rubble.

The RINJ Foundation gave the video and others to security analyst Simon Baldock and asked him to find consultants from the IDF to determine where the weapon came from. At around the same time other buildings had been hit including a UN building. According to IDF ordnance specialists, the weapon that hit the al Ahli Arab National  hospital was fired by an Israeli aircraft at nearly the same time the other two buildings were hit within a few minutes.

“We had previously issued a warning to evacuate Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital and five other hospitals,” said an Israeli spokesperson at the time of the catastrophe.
