Far more civilians than Hamas fighters are arriving for treatment of war wounds at Gaza's main hospital as Israel's military incursion into the territory continues, two doctors say.
When the Israeli airstrikes began more than a week ago, the first casualties Shifa Hospital saw were fighters in military uniform, a Palestinian doctor said Monday.
"But after that day and until this day, we didn't receive any men from the resistance or anyone in the military," he said. "All of them were civilians."
Eric Fosse, a Norwegian doctor volunteering at Shifa, said he had seen more women and children among the casualties Monday than on any other day since the Israeli offensive began December 27. Most of the wounded men he is seeing are civilians as well, he said.
It is not clear whether Hamas dead and wounded are being taken to a different hospital.
Nearly 600 Palestinians, including at least 100 women and children, have been killed in Gaza since the campaign began, according to Palestinian medical sources. In addition, at least 2,750 Palestinians have been injured, most of them civilians, the sources said.

it's funny how when Muslims are attacked, people say you're creating more terrorists by doing that . Does that mean if america was attacked (like 9/11), it created more PATRIOTS!!! i guess muslims are labeled terrorists even if they defend themselves.
