"The strike was direct, with no warnings," Ghar told Middle East Eye outside the war-battered Nasser hospital in Khan Younis.
"It was a clear targeting of civilians, including children. The attack was absolutely barbaric."
He expressed deep frustration over the lack of global response.
"There's no world, no Arab world, or even Islamic world, speaking out. If a kitten were killed, the world would have protested, but instead, the silence is deafening."

Israel strikes so-called 'safe zone' despite military pause
The Israeli military has carried out several attacks across Gaza, killing over 53 people - including 32 aid seekers - despite announcing a "tactical suspension" of operations in three areas. Early on Sunday, the Israeli army announced a 10-hour daily pause of military operations from 10am (7am GMT) to 8pm (5pm GMT) in the areas of al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City. The military said this was part of a framework of "humanitarian efforts to expand the entry of aid", adding that the plan included "sustainably secured corridors" from 6am to 11pm. However, several areas across the besieged enclave reported shelling, including relief distribution and delivery zones. The death toll from Israel's war on Gaza has risen to 59,821, with over 144,851 wounded since 7 October 2023.
