Medical testimony from 8 months ago.

According to this doctor after a tent area would be bombed the drones would descend to hover above the area and if the drone operator saw someone laying on the ground they would shoot them. So if you survived the bombing and were somehow blown out into the open or managed to struggle out of the rubble then you would hear the drones overhead and it might be the last thing you hear.

2. Quadcopter drones shooting surviving children lying on the ground after bombings!

3-year olds! 7-year olds? How does anyone who condones this sleep at night?

This is exactly why Israel won't allow foreign journalists into their killing fields and is killing the Palestinian journalists. https://stopmurderingjournalists.com And ignore the heading that says "10 days since Israel murdered a journalist" because they assassinated 6 of them today by deliberately targeting their tent.

So the drones would come down and pick off civilians, children and we had description after description. This is not you know an occasional thing. This was day after day after day operating on children who would say "I was lying on the ground after a bomber dropped and this quadcopter came down and hovered over me and shot me." And that's clearly a deliberate act,
and it was a persistent act, persistent targeting of civilians day after day.

-snip-

This was clearly persistent, deliberate targeting of civilians. I've worked in a number of conflict zones in different parts of the world. I was there at the time of the Rwandan genocide. I've never seen anything on this scale ever and that was also the view of all the experienced colleagues that I worked with. One of the surgeons in my team had been to Ukraine five times and said this is 10 times worse.

Normally, in a conflict zone you would have a front line. You'd have fighting going on between two sets of forces, and you might get some civilians injured in in that in that exchange .There doesn't seem to be a front line. There just seems to be 1.4 million people trapped, they can't leave and having bombs dropped on them on a daily basis and then drones coming in and
shooting them. And there's plenty of evidence out there from from Israeli soldiers that that's what's going on. But we saw it you know we saw the results of it.
