Before the war, this restaurant in the Rimal district of Gaza City was needed Thai food – when the ingredients in the north of Gaza could still be found.
Wednesday, a bloody day in the Gaza Strip, with multiple strikes, the restaurant was the most fatal site.
Thirty -three people were killed there and 155 wounds, according to the local ministry of health.
I was right on the other side of the road when the strike happened, drinking coffee and using the internet in another coffee. When I got the way through noise, smoking and dust to take photographs, I came across a scene of the dead and death.
Those who had survived were trying to help each other in the best possible way. The wounded woman seen in this photograph was taken away in a hospital a few moments.
But at least one hospital was unable to accommodate the high number of victims on Wednesday, according to the Ministry of Health, which put the death balance through the 59 -year enclave. His figures of victims do not distinguish between fighters and civilians.
When asked about the goal of the attack, the Israeli army declared in a declaration on Thursday that its forces had “affected two Hamas key terrorists” in the area of the city of Gaza.
“Before the strike,” he said, “numerous measures have been taken to mitigate the risk of damaging the unpublished civilians, including the use of a precise ammunition, air surveillance and further intelligence”.
Israel was “aware”, said the declaration, “of the affirmation of the victims”.
The strikes followed the collapse in March of a ceased the fire between the Israelis and Hamas, who unleashed the war with October 7, 2023, attacks against Israel. The Israeli army says that she is expanding its operations to Gaza to force Hamas to release the remaining hostages seized in that attack.
Outside the coffee Wednesday, Gazas desperate to the return of the war.
“Enough, enough of the bloodshed of blood,” said a witness, Ahmed al-Saoudi.
