Israeli attack on hospital in Gaza: Seven dead shake the world!

Israeli armed forces fired the Al-Wafa Hospital in the east of Gaza on Sunday, killing seven Palestinians and several others were injured. This was announced by Hamas' disaster protection. One floor hit the fifth floor of the clinic, which led to a panic -like evacuation of the building, as eyewitnesses reported. This information is currently not independent.

The Israeli army said that the hospital was not in operation at the time of the attack and a Hamas command center was found in the building. Israel has repeatedly attacked hospitals in the Gaza Strip in the past few weeks and justifies this with the presence of Hamas positions and fighters in the facilities.

attacks on health facilities

On Saturday, the Israeli military ended a three-day deployment in the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, in which 240 Hamas fighter was arrested. During this use, patients were evacuated and the clinic stopped operating, with parts of the building burned down. Palestinian health authorities reported that a total of 33 hospitals had to close in the Gaza strip since the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023.

international law stipulates that hospitals may not be attacked or used militarily in the event of war. A misuse of health facilities by a conflict party does not justify the attack by the other side; The well -being of patients and medical staff must always be taken into account, as is emphasized in the reports on the latest incidents.
