Except for the blood stains on the floors of the operating room, Ibn Sina Hospital, in the West Bank city of Jenin, was left spotlessly clean. It lasted no more than 15 minutes. “They were speaking perfect Arabic,” one doctor said of the 12 Israeli commandos who entered at the crack of dawn.
The hospital’s lobby was sparkling; its facilities brand new. After months of the conflict, its staff are now some of the most experienced trauma surgeons in Palestine.
The doctor described the attack as “like a movie”.
“There were several groups, they were disguised by wearing a lot of clothes... one looked like a doctor, another like a nurse, another looked like they were pregnant in a wheelchair. It was like a movie.”
