(Times of Israel) Civilians in Gaza are being shot by Hamas terrorists while trying to evacuate from Jabalya amid a renewed IDF offensive, an Israeli paramedic said Monday. Cpl. Shai Gilboa told Israel's Channel 12 that a photograph of her tending to an injured Palestinian woman was the result of Hamas's attempts to prevent civilians from heeding Israeli orders to evacuate to designated safe zones during the fighting. After terrorists in the area opened fire and wounded some of the Gazans who were trying to flee, "The wounded came to us and we provided them with first aid in the field, which mostly entailed stopping the bleeding," she said. While interactions tended to be limited due to the language barrier, "They smile at us, they wave goodbye at us, they curse Hamas in front of us. Not only are they not afraid of us, a lot of them are on our side."
