Israel committed a horrific massacre yesterday, 17 September 2025, targeting forcibly displaced Palestinian civilians near to Al-Shifa Hospital, as they were evacuating Gaza City.

At least 15 people have been killed, including Palestinian journalist Alaa Al-Sawalhi, a cameraman for Al-Quds Al-Youm channel.

Women and children were among those killed.

Israel committing ‘full-fledged’ war crimes in full view

A press release issued by Hamas on Wednesday evening calls the targeting of these innocent civilians:

a full-fledged war crime that exposes the brutality of this entity in attacking civilians even at moments of displacement.

This massacre, along with all the other atrocities that happened yesterday – including the targeting, by Israeli occupation forces, of two Palestinian civilians near the Red Crescent in Tel Al-Air, south of Gaza City – came only one day after a UN commission confirmed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Between 12am and 9.20pm on 17 September, the total number of Palestinians killed by the occupation was 86.
