The head of a Gaza City hospital that treated some of those wounded in the bloodshed surrounding an aid convoy said Friday that more than 80% had been struck by gunfire, suggesting there was heavy shooting by Israeli troops.
At least 115 Palestinians were killed and more than 750 others injured Thursday, according to health officials, when witnesses said nearby Israeli troops opened fire as huge crowds raced to pull goods off an aid convoy. Israel said many of the dead were trampled in a stampede that started when desperate Palestinians in Gaza rushed the aid trucks. Israel said its troops fired warning shots after the crowd moved toward them in a threatening way.
Dr. Mohammed Salha, the acting director of Al-Awda Hospital, told The Associated Press that of the 176 wounded brought to the facility, 142 had gunshot wounds and the other 34 showed injuries from a stampede.
Amazing that their initial excuse was “No, no, it wasn’t us shooting them that caused the deaths, it was the stampede…”
Yeah, genius, and WHAT caused the stampede? Oh, the SHOOTING? Right…
I was amazed I had to post pictures of shot people so often yesterday. All the IDF has to do is make up some blatant bullshit for an extreme war crime and the onus lies on others to disprove it.
Just make sure you link the images, or NSFW them. Lots of folks are sensitive about death and gore.
Honestly, the point of posting such pictures is to rub people’s noses in what they are defending. Part of the problem is we keep on censoring ourselves because it makes us uncomfortable.
Oh, I get that, and they probably deserve it, but the random person just scrolling comments doesn’t. ;)
No worries I’ll always put a huge disclaimer in front of them.
Could you repost the links here? I want to show them to some people trying to say it was a stampede.
Sure thing, here you go
NSFL (Gore+Death): images of shot people
Here is a video with sound of gunfire, tracer rounds can be seen flying but it’s not super nsfl

Here is the aerial footage video from the IDF

Am I supposed to see anything specific in the videos and images?
In drone footage, all I can see is a mass of humanity swarming the aid trucks and running away panicked.
In the other footage, I hear gunfire, but nowhere near the 1000+ gunshots it would take to wound so many. I’m also not seeing anyone with clear gunshot wounds, or definitive trampling/crowd crush injuries.
In the still photos, I see people who are dead, but I’m not seeing any obvious signs as to how they died.
I don’t like seeing the death, but substantial proof would be helpful in determining the truth.
Well, Israel could release the entire drone footage (including when they openly admit they fired on the Palestinians).
Or let independent journalists into Gaza to investigate what happened.
This would be a simple way of absolving themselves.
The fact they haven’t speaks volumes.
You can see bullet holes in those people in the pictures. Try looking again.
Where exactly? I’m really not trying to be obtuse, but I honestly can’t see anything that is clearly a bullet hole.
