Hamas says hundreds of people have been killed in an explosion that it says was caused by an Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza City.
The Age and Sydney Morning Herald’s journalists Matthew Knott and Kate Geraghty are on the ground in Israel reporting on the unfolding crisis. Here is their account from Be’er Sheva, familiar to many Australians as the site of a famous ANZAC and British victory in World War One.A shoot-out between Israeli cops and Hamas terrorists. Kalashnikov rifles and rocket-propelled grenades. Kill or be killed. Daniel Damri’s story of October 7 sounds like a video game.
The limitless barbarity and bravery of which mankind is capable is on gruesome display, here in the dusty plains of the Negev Desert.Damri’s plan for Saturday was simple: to relax with his wife and three young children in their hometown of Be’er Sheva, a city of 213,000 people in southern Israel. It was Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, and the 32-year-old police special forces officer was not rostered to work. The perfect day for a hike and a trip to the playground.
