On October 19, the Hamad school, Beit Lahia, in the north of Gaza, near the Indonesian hospital, was surrounded by soldiers of the IDF Battalion 432, they forced all the displaced people to leave and filmed by drone the moment they sorted the men and young boys from women. The images show small groups of men in a row, others walking with their hands towards a huge hole dug in front of the Hamad school.

Other videos and photos show women and children forced to leave their male relatives and walk down Salah al Deen Street in the south and into Gaza City.

According to Palestine Captive, journalist Ayman Al-Hesi from Gaza reported that the IDF battalion carried out brutal executions on the ground, targeting men and youths near the Indonesian hospital.

Later the same day, Israeli soldiers burned down four schools in the same area, including the Hamad school. They take selfies of their war crimes and post them on social media :

According to this Israeli account, the perpetrators are under the orders of Lieutenant Colonel Itzik Cohen, commander of the 162nd division. They would have been given the choice between surrender or death. This may indicate that Palestinian civilians were not systematically executed, although some images are disturbing.

According to Anas Al Sharif "Israeli occupying forces are forcing displaced people in Jabalia camp shelters to head towards the checkpoint, and anyone attempting to take a different route is subject to drone and artillery bombardment. Even those who follow the instructions do not escape missiles and death."

According to Khaled Yoursi, with this footage and the testimony of Dr. Munir, "The horrors of genocide and the plan for forced displacement in the besieged north are escalating. Israeli occupation forces evacuate displaced people from shelters at the Indonesian hospital, detaining the men and setting the buildings on fire to prevent people from returning. The occupation targets the power generators, leading to power outages and the death of patients after oxygen machines are shut down. Doctors and medical staff are forced to dig graves inside the hospital to bury the martyrs due to the tank-enforced siege. Options for treating the wounded are nearly nonexistent, with many left to bleed to death due to the overwhelming number of injuries."
