The call to Mahmoud Shaheen came at dawn.
It was Thursday 19 October at about 06:30, and Israel had been bombing Gaza for 12 days straight.
He’d been in his third-floor, three-bedroom flat in al-Zahra, a middle-class area in the north of the Gaza Strip. Until now, it had been largely untouched by air strikes.
He’d heard a rising clamour outside. People were screaming. “You need to escape,” somebody in the street shouted, “because they will bomb the towers”.
I can’t imagine packing up and leaving in 2 hours with my whole family and all my cats and everything
You dont have two hours to pack. You have two hours to not be in the area anymore
That’s literally what they said tho
If you still live in Northern Gaza to this day, after all that’s being going on, and all the warnings to GTFO… you better keep your cats and belongings pre-packed and ready to be several blocks away in 30 minutes, don’t even wait the 2 hours.
Meh Israelis committing familicide is most probably God’s curse upon those who choose to punish others by playing God.
god isn’t real, you absolute baby
u saying palestinians played god?
/s ? Please be /s…
You can’t be serious. Who played god here?
You sound awfully serious and concerned
