“Doctors say they are doing everything possible to save the lives of many of the children who were transferred to hospital today after they sustained severe burns and injuries from flying shrapnel,” Hani Mahmoud of Al Jazeera reports from Gaza City.

“These drone missiles are packed with nails, and when they explode pieces of metal fly at a very high speed — piercing bodies, causing internal injuries that leads to severe bleeding that causes the majority of deaths from those attacked by drone missiles.”

“These attacks are happening despite all the claims by the Israel military that prides itself of using sophisticated, advanced weapons,” Mahmoud says.

“But when we look at what’s happening on the ground, and we see the number of casualties and the kind of targets being hit, it contradicts what the Israeli military is marketing.”
