OMG!
Dr. @Tanyaalih says Israel executed doctors in Al-Shifa hospital and that the targeting of healthcare workers is so systematic that when they leave the hospitals, they put on civilian clothes because they are more likely to be assassinated by Israel if they wear scrubs. pic.twitter.com/u9yzpP6OOF
