At least four people died and more than 40 were injured in the Israeli army’s shelling of a camp of displaced people in the al Aqsa Martyrs’ hospital in central Gaza. This was stated by the Gaza Ministry of Health, according to which the bombs hit the tents of displaced people inside the hospital, located in the city of Deir al Balah. It is the seventh time Israel has attacked the same center, Gaza authorities said in a statement.
According to the Ministry of Health, the attack caused a fire in the tents and hospital. The Israeli military (IDF) confirmed in a statement that it had launched a “precise strike against terrorists” who operated a command center inside the hospital “used by Hamas terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against the ‘IDF and the State of Israel’.
The attack occurred shortly after an Israeli bombing of the Mufti school, which also hosts displaced people in the Nuseirat refugee camp (central Gaza), which caused at least 23 deaths and dozens of injuries.
Four Israeli soldiers died in yesterday’s Hezbollah drone attack on a military base adjacent to Binyaminain the north of the country. The Israeli army (IDF) said this, specifying that 7 others were seriously injured. All the injured were evacuated to hospital and their families were informed. «Their names will be released later. The episode is being examined,” adds the IDF.
