Earlier, the health ministry in the Gaza Strip confirmed that more than 500 innocent Palestinian civilians, including women and children, have been martyred in a brutal Israeli airstrike on al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.

The hospital, a place of refuge for thousands seeking medical treatment and shelter amidst relentless Israeli bombardment, targeting commercial buildings, schools, homes and civilian residences, was hit in what Gaza’s Hamas government described as a “war crime.”

The hospital, which was also sheltering people forcibly displaced from their homes due to Israeli airstrikes, was reduced to rubble. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the head of pediatrics at the Kamal Adwan Hospital, condemned the attack, calling it “unconscionable.” He emphasized the urgent need for international intervention to stop the targeting of hospitals and civilians in Gaza.
