What’s notable about this excellent Al-Jazeera investigation is how its simple timeline and stating of the facts of Israel’s relentless destruction of Gaza’s hospitals, uncover an obvious genocidal intent. Israel’s weak propaganda can not hide its undeniably intentional, no doubt Israeli army quadcopter-documented, massacres of people sheltering in hospitals. Al-Jazeera introduces its 47-minute documentary piece as follows:
Hospitals are supposed to be immune from attack in times of war but Israel has repeatedly bombed and shelled them since October 7, 2023. This film looks at Israel’s destruction of Gaza’s hospitals in the context of its historical expansion at the expense of the Palestinian population, going back to 1948.

The Israeli army cut off water, power, fuel and medical supplies to Gaza and has attacked most of its hospitals. It claims that al-Shifa Hospital shielded a Hamas command centre and attacked it despite the hundreds of civilians sheltering there – but produced little evidence to support that claim.
The alleged war crimes that the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for on both sides include Israel’s deliberate targeting of civilians, many of whom have taken shelter in Gaza’s hospitals.
