Israeli airstrike hits Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital compound for 14th time
GAZA, Sept. 01 (YPA) – The Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza confirmed early Monday that Israeli warplanes launched a new strike targeting a displaced persons’ tent inside Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, near the hospital’s outpatient clinic.
The strike resulted in multiple injuries, caused material damage, and directly endangered the lives of dozens of patients inside the facility.
According to GMO, this marks the 14th time since the start of the war that Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital has been targeted, describing the attack as part of a systematic pattern of repeated assaults on healthcare facilities.
GMO stated that the continued targeting reflects a deliberate intent to destroy the health infrastructure and constitutes a clear violation of international laws, which prohibit attacks on medical facilities and civilians.
It strongly condemned the ongoing attacks on hospitals, calling them blatant violations of international and humanitarian conventions.
It held the Israeli occupation, as well as the US administration and other complicit governments, responsible for what it described as systematic crimes aimed at dismantling the healthcare system in Gaza.
The statement urged the UN and international bodies to act immediately to stop the attacks and protect hospitals and medical staff in Gaza.
