Gaza [Palestine], July 11 (ANI): At least three people were wounded after an Israeli drone struck a hospital in northern Gaza despite a ceasefire being in place, Al Jazeera reported, citing Palestine’s Ministry of Health.
The attack took place Friday (local time) at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, where three people were injured in the hospital courtyard. Three others were wounded in nearby areas.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health condemned the attack, calling it part of Israel’s “systematic targeting of health facilities.” The ministry said the attacks jeopardize the ability of healthcare workers and hospitals to provide both routine and life-saving medical services, Al Jazeera reported.
On Thursday, fresh Israeli strikes in Gaza killed six people despite a US-brokered ceasefire, Al Jazeera reported, citing Gaza’s Civil Defence agency and health officials.
Two of the six victims were killed after an Israeli drone struck the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, while the other four died in separate attacks in different parts of the territory, according to the Civil Defence agency. Hospitals across Gaza confirmed receiving the bodies of the six people killed in the strikes.
On July 5, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned Israel’s actions in the region and criticized the United States for supporting them, alleging that the region has witnessed the targeted killing of intellectuals, scientists, and other influential figures, IRNA reported.
Speaking at the international conference “Imam Khamenei: The Eternal Leader of Resistance” in Tehran, Pezeshkian also questioned the effectiveness of international institutions, saying they had failed to prevent such actions despite claiming to uphold human rights, according to IRNA.
Pezeshkian said that if “Muslim nations acted collectively, conflicts and humanitarian crises in Gaza, Lebanon and Palestine could not continue unchecked.” He also warned that divisions among Islamic sects and ethnic groups create opportunities for external actors to exploit regional tensions, IRNA reported.
