“Everyone was screaming, terrified,” she said. “The street I was on was only 50 metres long, but it was packed with hundreds of people, all running.

They ran past health clinics and schools where they might once have sought shelter, but now shunned because of Israeli attacks on both types of compound.
Raed Tawfiq Abu Youssef, who was keeping vigil at hospital over a son critically injured in the attack, said his cousin watched the Israeli team arrive in the truck and a car. “Some men got out of the truck, greeted people in front of the house, went in and started killing everyone,” he said. The hours of bombardment were ordered at least in part to shield the hostages and Israeli forces, and the attacks intensified after a rescue vehicle carrying the three male hostages was trapped under heavy fire, Israeli media reported.
