At least 700 killed in Israeli bombing on Gaza hospital: Health ministry

At least 700 civilians have been killed by Israeli air strikes on al-Ahli Baptist Hospital amid the regime’s relentless aggression on the besieged Palestinian enclave, the Gaza Health Ministry says. 

Earlier on Tuesday, the health ministry said Israeli air strikes on the central Gaza hospital compound killed hundreds of people

“Two hundred to 300 displaced people killed in occupation (Israeli) strikes on the yard” of the hospital, the ministry said.

“Hundreds of victims are still under the rubble,” it added.

The media office of the Hamas government described the attack as a “war crime”.

“The hospital was housing hundreds of sick and wounded, and people forcibly displaced from their homes” because of other strikes, a statement said.
