Israel is attacking Gaza hospitals in violation of international law, but is this part of a pattern dating back to 1948?
Hospitals are supposed to be immune to attack in times of war, but Israel has bombed and shelled them repeatedly since October 7, 2023. This film looks at Israel's destruction of Gaza hospitals in the context of its historical expansion at the expense of the Palestinian population. It dates back to 1948. The Israeli army cut off water, electricity, fuel and medical supplies to Gaza and has attacked most of its hospitals. He claims that al-Shifa Hospital protected a Hamas command center and attacked it despite hundreds of civilians sheltering there, but presented little evidence to support that claim. The alleged war crimes for which the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for both sides include Israel's deliberate attacks on civilians, many of whom have taken refuge in Gaza hospitals.
