OMG. Please, see the citations bellow.

The posts are different! It's my own words! I suppose that the automatic checker says that the posts are the same because two posts are short and thus the percentage of the common words (that deal with the same subject) are the same.

I say:

"The Israel Defense Forces opened a field hospital at Erez Crossing on July 20, which tended to sick and injured Palestinians from Gaza.[1]

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operate a field hospital at the Gaza Strip border, providing emergency and humanitarian treatment for the Palestinians of Gaza. The hospital has 20 doctors, nurses and technicians, a lab, an X-ray device and a pharmacy. Among the doctors are a pediatrician, an ophthalmologist and a gynecologist. The hospital is equipped for childbirth. [2]

The IDF said that the field hospital was set up because of the special circumstances and the many people hurt among the Palestinian population in Gaza as a result of IDF attacks.[3]

The IDF had urged civilians in northern Gaza to flee the area before intensifying the operation against the terror regime in Gaza. Hamas, however, had urged them to remain in the area and has been using the local population as human shields when firing missiles at Israeli civilians.[4]

There was opposition on the Palestinian side to injured civilians receiving treatment in Israel thus the hospital stayed almost empty.[5]

The decision to set up the hospital was made by the Israeli government following the recommendation of the coordinator of government activities in the Palestinian territories General Yoav Mordechai, and approved by the IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz.[6]"

the referred article says:

"The Israel Defense Forces has set up a field hospital at the Erez Checkpoint on the northern border of the Gaza Strip. From today the field hospital will provide humanitarian treatment for the Palestinians living in Gaza. The hospital was set up by a government decision and with the approval of IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz and following the recommendation of the coordinator of government activities in the territories General Yoav (Poli) Mordechai.

The IDF says that the field hospital was set up because of the special circumstances and the many people hurt among the Palestinian population in Gaza as a result of IDF attacks during Operation Protective Edge.

The hospital run by the IDF Medical Corps will begin operating at 8 pm this evening for Palestinians requiring treatment including women and children. The hospital will handle childbirth and staff will include doctors, nurses, technicians for x-ray equipment and laboratories and more."

Extreme Bias edit

Why is this page locked? This article reads like an Israeli military press release. There is absolutely no evidence that an IDF field hospital was ever built; the first 3 cites indicate “IDF says..” “IDF claims..” and the rest of the information is IDF good, Gaza bad. We’ve seen the extent of hasbara in the last month. And why is there a random article about a supposed IDF field hospital from 2014? LegalResearcherSTL (talk) 12:16, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Why didn’t Palestinians use the IDF hospital? edit

Please use cite 10 to explain in more detail why Palestinians chose not to go to a hospital operated by the same people who had injured them in the first place.
