Key quote:

Palestinian militants armed with machine-guns and rocket-propelled grenades opened fire on the rescuers, as Israel called in heavy strikes from land and air to cover their evacuation to the coast. “A lot of fire was around us,” Hagari said.

It was this bombardment that appears to have killed and wounded so many Palestinians.

Another key quote:

"It needs to be like a surgical operation, like a brain operation,” [Hagari] said.

This man would be the worst brain surgeon.

Funny you mention that. Israeli brain surgeons saved Yahya Sinwar's life by removing a tumor when he was imprisoned in Israel for torture and murder of several Palestinians and Israelis. He "thanked" the lead surgeon by having his grandson abducted on October 7.
