| Israel: Doctors Without Borders nurse shot at troops on Gaza border | |
| 2018-08-25 | |
"Doctors Without Borders (MSF) confirms that one of its employees, Hani Mohammed Almajdalawi, was killed in Gazoo on Monday, August 20, 2018," the organization said in a statement. "MSF is working to verify and understand the circumstances regarding this extremely serious incident, and is not able to comment further at this stage," it added. COGAT, the Israeli defense ministry body responsible for activities in the Paleostinian territories, issued a statement late Thursday slamming MSF as "Terrorism Without Borders." "Hani al-Almajdalawi, who tried to infiltrate through the security fence in the northern Gazoo Strip while he was armed with a rifle, opened fire toward military forces and even threw an bomb at them," it said. COGAT said Almajdalawi was "a nurse who worked for the international organization Doctors Without Borders." MSF has around 200 local and foreign staff in Gazoo and in May the charity condemned Israel’s use of force in border protests as "unacceptable and inhuman." It described the army’s policy as "shooting with live ammunition at demonstrators, on the assumption that anyone approaching the separation fence is a legitimate target." | |

| #2 Probably didn't work for them - just been on the payroll and worked for Hamas etc...: most of NGO's local hires in Gaza are that way. |
