To Hamas, All Citizens Are Targets, Say Arab Israelis
(Times of Israel) Gianluca Pacchiani - Arab Israelis were gunned down by Hamas terrorists or killed by Hamas rockets. Awad Darawshe, 23, an Arab Israeli paramedic, arrived at the scene of the Hamas massacre at a music festival near Gaza on Oct. 7 to treat the wounded. He was killed by Hamas terrorists, who stole his ambulance and drove it into Gaza. Jamal Alkirnawi, a social activist from the Bedouin city of Rahat, said: "We are heartbroken. Those who were slaughtered were our friends and neighbors. We have good relations with the Jewish communities along the Gaza border. Many Rahat residents work in agriculture in the kibbutzim. Some of them were killed in the fields on Oct. 7." Alkirnawi put the number of Bedouins killed during the war at 18, of which at least five were from Rahat. In one village, "a family of four was directly hit by a Hamas rocket and died instantly."
