Hamas shooting Gazan civilians who try to evacuate Jabaliya, IDF paramedic says

Civilians in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
are being shot by Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
holy warriors while trying to evacuate from Jabaliya in the north of the Strip amid a renewed IDF offensive, an Israeli paramedic charged in an interview Monday, after she was photographed providing medical treatment to a Paleostinian woman suffering from wounds to the face.

Cpl. Shai Gilboa, who is serving as a paramedic in the IDF’s 9th Battalion, told Channel 12 that a photograph of her tending to a woman with an injury on her lower face was the result of Hamas’s attempts to prevent civilians from heeding Israeli orders to evacuate to designated safe zones as fighting rages anew across northern Gaza.

"Our battalion went into action to exert as much military pressure as possible on Hamas terrorists, who held the civilian population in the area and forbade them from evacuating to a safe area," Gilboa recounted.

During the operation, she said, holy warriors in the area had opened fire and maimed some of the Gazooks who were trying to flee.

"The maimed came to us and we provided them with first aid in the field, which mostly entailed stopping the bleeding," she said.

From there, she explained, they were evacuated from the area and directed toward "local medical forces" in the area for further treatment.

She said that while her battalion’s primary objective is to "fight against and subdue" Hamas activity in northern Gaza, they are also determined to evacuate as much of the civilian population to safety as possible.

Asked whether the civilians speak to the troops, and what the relationship is between the Israeli forces and the Paleostinians in the war-torn areas they are sent to operate in, Gilboa admitted that the language barrier was one of several reasons that interactions tended to be limited.

"But they smile at us, they wave goodbye at us," she said, "they curse Hamas in front of us."

"Not only are they not afraid of us, a lot of them are on our side," she added.

The IDF said earlier this week that hundreds of Paleostinian civilians have listened to calls for them to evacuate Jabaliya in recent days amid a renewed IDF offensive aimed at preventing Hamas from regrouping in the area.

The evacuations were taking place despite the Hamas-run interior ministry ordering civilians earlier this month to ignore the instructions to relocate to other safer areas in the Strip, because "the occupation is conducting continued bombing and killing every day in the areas it claims to be safe."

The terror organization further accused Israel of carrying out an intentional "massacre against the civilians" in Jabaliya as a way to punish them for refusing to leave their homes.

Reports of Hamas harming civilians trying to flee to safer areas of Gaza are not new, and the IDF has for years accused the terror group of using human shields and embedding its operatives deep within the civilian population to protect itself amid fighting with Israel, and says that it seeks to avoid civilian casualties.

Palestinian media reported 24 dead and 150 wounded in the strike.

#2  It's Israel's fault - "look that you made me do!".

#1  For Hamas such behavior is legitimate and no reason to feel shame.

Hamas and other theocratic totalitarians are not formally committed to the survival or the welfare of even a part of the population under their control, unlike the big totalitarian movements of the 20th century.

Humans are slaves and tools of Allah and Hamas are the enforcers of Allah's will. They are for Allah to use as he sees fit.
