Video Description (from Youtube)

When the Israeli army bombs schools, hospitals or apartments in Gaza, it’s the Civil Defense crew that rushes in to pull people out from the rubble. Since Israel has blocked rescue equipment from

entering the Gaza, rescue teams use simple tools and their bare hands to pull people, including children, from the ruins.

Before the rescue teams enter the bombed sites, they coordinate with the Israeli military to make sure they won’t be bombed too. But Israel often targets the same location many times, leading to even more civilian casualties. Since the beginning of the genocide, at least 139 Civil Defense workers have been killed by Israel.

Filmmaker Bisan Owda follows the rescuers through some of the war’s darkest days. She calls them Gaza’s heroes – the first line of defense that is standing up to Israel’s attacks When an Israeli strike ignites a deadly fire at a school shelter killing some of Bisan's relatives, it is the Civil Defense who rush in to try to save them.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.Who is Allah?

Allah is the official Arabic word used to signify God. The title is entirely unique because it has no plural or gendered forms, unlike standard words like gods or goddesses. It simply translates to 'The One and Only True God'. Linguistic origins show variants like 'Elah' or 'Eloh' in the Hebrew Torah, as well as in the original Aramaic language spoken by Jesus.

2.Is Allah the Moon-God?

No, this is a entirely false claim that originally originated from a Christian pastor named Robert Morey; Islam explicitly refutes this idea, maintaining that Allah is the all-powerful, unique Creator of the entire universe and not a pagan entity or a creation like the moon.

3.Where did the name Allah come from?

The word Allah is the standard Arabic word for God used in all Arabic Bible translations, and its roots are identical to the Aramaic word 'Eloi' used by Jesus on the cross.

It was used in some English translations of the Bible like the original 'Scofield Reference Bible'

In the New Testament, Jesus is believed to cry before his death 'ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI', Eloi is the exact Arabic word 'Elahi' which comes from the same root as Allah.
