The offices of @mhamonline's Tashkeel3D have been destroyed. Tashkeel is @Glia_Intl's original Gaza partner, and where Gaza's first 3D printer was built. They have been manufacturing medical devices for years now, and leading #OpenSource culture in #Gaza. No word yet on injuries.
Tashkeel 3D and Glia Gaza were threatened with bombing previously by the Israeli military. While no specific reason was given, they were producing tourniquets to support Gaza's medical system at the time, which was likely what brought them to Israeli attention.
This move severely hampers efforts to produce 3D printed tourniquets at scale in preparation for a possible ground war. Tashkeel3D's offices effectively represent half of Gaza's 3D printing capacity.
