The young man, bound by zip-tie cuffs, delivered his Israeli captors’ message but was shot as he tried to walk out of the hospital gate.

In a video taken shortly after his arrival, his eyes are wide, dazed, and scared all at once. He had something to tell the thousands sheltering at the facility.

A crowd gathered around, according to Mohammed El Helou, one of the only remaining Palestinian journalists in the hospital, and the young handcuffed man said that the Israeli military had sent him with a message.

“Get out of the hospital, you need to get out of the hospital because they are going to blow it up.”

Abu Al-Ola was killed shortly after walking out of the hospital. According to El Helou, he was shot by an Israeli soldier three times in his chest and abdomen while still inside the gates of the hospital.

Al Serr, the Nasser Hospital doctor, confirmed the account of Abu Al-Ola being killed as he left the hospital. El Helou later got footage of Abu Al-Ola’s corpse in a body bag, still robed in his PPE.

    pretty infamous

    Spectacular point you’re making there. I wonder how many kids the Nazis executed after deploying them as messengers during ongoing military operations. I read a lot of terrible shit about the Nazis, seen thousands of images and documentary hours, but not that particular action. This is particularly disgusting.

      You’re right, but media also travels a lot more quickly and readily these days. If they had cellphones with cameras and Internet access back then, maybe we’d know more depravity.
