Authorities in Gaza say that the Israeli military has killed at least 500 people in a hospital in its latest act of war crimes in the occupied Palestinian area.
A spokesman for the Palestinian health ministry said that ‘initial estimates indicate that between 200 and 300 martyrs were killed in the bombing that targeted Baptist Hospital in Gaza city.”
The ministry later revised the death toll to 500 as reported by news agencies Reuters and AP.
Earlier, the Israeli military had bombed a UN-run school in central Gaza where 4,000 people were sheltering, leaving many dead.
This exposes Israeli claims that its forces were not targeting civilians. Experts have warned that Israel will have to face the consequences for breaking international law since it’s committing an act of war crimes.
As expected, the Israeli military has reacted by merely saying that it was investigating the reports of another genocide in Gaza. According to the BBC, an Israeli army spokesperson said that the cause of the incident was not known and the army was looking into the details.
Earlier, the Israeli military had bombed Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital, in northern Gaza, where more than 6 lakh people have been forced to leave their homes for the south in view of Israeli attacks on civilian targets.
Palestinians in Gaza have been living in unspeakable misery after Israel blocked the supply of food, water and electricity in the aftermath of Hamas attacks. Close to 3,000 Palestinians have been brutally massacred by Israel with nearly half of the victims being children.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is being labelled as the killer of babies with experts urging for his trial as a war criminal in the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
