Palestinian armed group Hamas, engaged in war with Israel, announced on the 10th (local time) that 13 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip.


According to a statement from the Hamas government on the same day, reported by Al Jazeera and AFP, "The Israeli military bombed inside Al-Shifa Hospital, resulting in 13 martyrs and dozens injured."


According to footage from Palestinian media at the scene of Al-Shifa Hospital on that day, the Israeli military appears to have carried out an airstrike on the parking lot, where Gaza Strip refugees were staying and journalists were observing the surrounding situation. The video showed a man lying on a stretcher with blood pooling heavily beside him.



The Israeli military has claimed that Hamas concealed military facilities in the hospital's basement and used patients and refugees housed in the hospital as 'human shields.' Meanwhile, Hamas denies these allegations, stating that Israel is making false claims to justify the killing of civilians.
