An Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza has killed five people, including a Hamas political leader and Palestinian medics, Hamas has said, in an attack that Israel said had targeted a key figure in the militant group.
The Gaza health ministry said the strike hit the surgery department at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis. The Israeli military said its attack followed extensive intelligence and used precise munitions to minimise harm at the site.
Hamas said a member of its political office, Ismail Barhoum, had been killed.
Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, confirmed the target was Barhoum. The military did not name the target, which it described only as “a key terrorist” in Hamas.
Who are the other 4+ people killed in this attack ON A HOSPITAL??
At least one was a teenager…
As is almost always the case in this genocide. This isn’t “Hamas using people as human shields” like Bibi claims. This is the IDF using all of Gaza as live targets.
Fuck Israel. Fucking rogue terrorist state.
Blatant war crime.
The "international rules-based order no longer exists (maybe it never really existed on the first place). International law isn’t murky here, it’s crystal clear: Israel is committing (yet another) war crime, they’re not even trying to hide it, and the US, the UK, Australia, and a number of other “western democracies” are just looking the other way.
Hamas’s al-Aqsa TV said Barhoum was being treated at the hospital for wounds sustained in a previous attack.
Still a war crime, Israel.
Oh. That’s OK then. It killed a hamas so striking a hospital is absolutely fine and the four other people don’t matter. Like at all. Yeh. They said the hospital was already demolished, so don’t worry about it. AT ALL.
JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.
Wait, who’s the terrorist in this story? j/k, I know.
Israel a year ago: we would never bomb a hospital!
Israel a 3 months later: hospitals are Hamas bases!
Israel a year later: We bombed a hospital we killed this wounded politician who was even not in the armed wing of Hamas. And 5 other people including children. Are we not amazing!
Kudos to the Western media apparatus collectively omitting that that bombing even a wounded soldier in a hospital is a war crime. Put Hamas in the title!
Israeli strike at Gaza hospital kills five including
Hamas political leaderteenage boy.Here’s an accurate headline that you’ll never see from imperial news.
We can only imagine who the other victims might have been.
