Hamas denies Israel’s claim its fighters were killed at al-Shifa
Hamas has rejected Israel’s claim that its forces “eliminated terrorists and located weapons in the hospital area” of the al-Shifa Medical Complex during its raid that began on Monday.
Israel military said in a statement that it killed about 90 “terrorists” at the hospital “while preventing harm to civilians, patients, medical teams, and medical equipment”. It also published the names and photographs of two Israeli soldiers killed in the operation.
Ismail al-Thawabta, director of Gaza’s Hamas-run government media office, told Reuters news agency all of those killed had been wounded patients and displaced persons inside the hospital.
“The Israeli occupation army practices lying and deception in spreading its narrative as part of justifying its continuous and law-breaking crimes, which violate international law, international humanitarian law,” he said.
Senior Hamas official Basem Naim, who has previously served as a health minister, told Reuters that “what happens in al-Shifa Hospital is a war crime and is part of the war of genocide conducted by the Israeli occupation”.

More than 100 aid workers killed in 1 week in Gaza: Gov’t
More than 100 aid workers have been killed and dozens wounded over the past week in eight attacks carried out by Israeli forces, according to the Government Media Office in Gaza.
The media office said in a statement the targeting of aid workers was part of Israel’s strategy to “perpetuate the policy of starvation and deepen famine on a broader scale”.
It expressed strong condemnation of Israel’s “terrorism” and its “genocidal war” as well as “America’s and some Western countries’ alignment with the occupation and involvement in the war” and called on the international community to intervene to stop “the massacre against our Palestinian people.”
