Terrorists fire at own people

Harrowing video shows Palestinian civilians being shot at — apparently by Hamas snipers — while trying to flee a pediatric cancer hospital where terrorists have barricaded themselves against the ongoing ground assault by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip.

Footage posted on X Friday shows families walking onto a side street waving white flags before gunfire is heard, sending the crowd scrambling for shelter while a child can be heard crying.

Media intelligence agency Storyful confirmed that the video was recorded at the alNasr Pediatric Hospital based on Google Maps images, but was unable to say whether the terror group or Israeli forces were responsible.

Independent journalist Alexander Higgins reported on X that jihadists began shooting after Israeli forces agreed to let civilians evacuate the hospital.

The Israel Defense Forces have surrounded the facility — which it says doubles as a terrorist citadel — as it attempts to root out Hamas in response to its Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel that killed more than 1,400 people, including 33 Americans.

The video appeared one day after the White House said Israel had agreed to daily humanitarian pauses to allow noncombatants to get out of the line of fire.

Israel has repeatedly implored civilians to move south as its forces continue their siege of the northern parts of Gaza.

“We were carrying white flags and when we walked out, we passed by the tanks,” Baqr Qaoud, the hospital director, told The Washington Post. “I was meters away from one.”

As Qaoud walked past, he said, he saw the tanks close in on the building.
