Dozens of patients critically injured waiting for their turn ->>
[@Hakeam_ps], who personally visited the hospital a while ago and assisted in this report, observed the injuries in patients, and affirmed that the majority were in the upper body, aligning with Dr. Jadallah's account.
I suggest following @Hakeam_ps he is on the ground ->
In my conversation with Lt. Colonel Nael Elaza from Palestinian Civil Defense (PCD) he denies that any Israeli teams are assisting their teams in extinguishing the fire that broke out in Hebron.
Israeli checkpoints also impair the work of the teams 1/4
According to Lt. Col Nael Israel sent a truck to Beit Al-Joura at the northern entrance to Hebron and offered through PA military liaison to give them foam, which the PCD has abundant of & doesn’t need. They respectfully declined the offer bc it isn’t needed in the first place 2/4
No requests were made to the PCD to send fire engines to the area by Israel. 18 PCD vehicles were already at the scene, some from Bethlehem and Jericho. Lt.Col Nael remarked “in this situation too much vehicles means also trubble, you need space and freedom of movement” 3/4
