Caesar has turned his thumbs down upon hearing that Israel has bombed a 5-story apartment building that's still standing in  Beit Lahiya, a northern Gazan town where displaced Palestinians had found shelter.  25 children were reported to be among the some 90 people among the dead.  Gaza's Government Media Office said the building housed around 200 people.  The Gaza  Health Ministry reported this early Tuesday. 

Dr. Hossam Abau Safiya, Director of Kmal Adwan Hospital has reported that they have been overwhelmed by wounded people from the strike.  According to him, Israeli IDF came over the weekend to question medics about the event.  

Israel always has warned residents before bombing buildings, telling them to leave and where to go for safety through leaflets, loudspeakers, etc.  They obviously did not receive the warning that citizens were occupying this presumed populated by certain Hamas terrorists building.  

Dr. Safiya explained to journalists that many had died for lack of medical care.  They must have a shortage of doctors.  IDF soldiers were there, interviewing doctors as about the dead and wounded discovered after the bombing.  

The Israeli attack on a five-storey residential building killed at least 93 people, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence. [AFP] Foreground man seems to be carrying a rug or blanket.  

     Judging against Israel with the  bombing of apartment building full of people ;  not like Israel to do this.  What happened?  It's happened at a time when Iran's missile factories in military sites  were bombed by Israel, too.....

Another fact of this story makes the information muddled.  JERUSALEM, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Israeli soldiers captured around 100 suspected Hamas militants during a raid in Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza, the military said on Monday.

Gaza health officials and Hamas have denied any militant presence at the hospital, which Israeli forces stormed on Friday and left on Saturday.

"The soldiers apprehended approximately 100 terrorists from the compound, including terrorists who attempted to escape during the evacuation of civilians. Inside the hospital, they found weapons, terror funds, and intelligence documents," the military said.   This matches other experiences of what IDF has found in Hamas-occupied hospitals, mosques, schools, even residents.  

It's appears that the doctor and IDF are not telling the same story.  Almost all the journalists have boarded Caesar's group who immediately blame Israel for wrong-doing and judge quickly without much information. 

Medglobal has given their respect to Dr. Hussam.   "With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of Ibrahim Hussam Abu Safiya, son of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, MedGlobal lead physician and Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital. 

Ibrahim, a young teenager known for his kindness, warmth, and joyful spirit, has left this world too soon.  

Civilians, healthcare workers, and their families are not a target. We stand in solidarity with Dr. Hussam, his family, and all impacted families in these times of unimaginable loss."  

Israel for sure mourns a life taken accidently of anyone, for life is most desired for all.  That's why, when we make a toast, we say "L'Chaim" To Life!  To save a life is to save a world., and doctors do this every day, the most respected of all professions.

Like Golda has said over and over;  "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children."
