Jordan condemns Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya
Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned in the “strongest terms” the Israeli attack that killed and wounded dozens of Palestinians in Beit Lahiya.
In a statement on X, the ministry described the attack as “a blatant challenge to international law and international humanitarian law, and a continuation of the systematic, brutal targeting of innocent civilians”.
According to witnesses and medical sources, at least 35 people were killed in the attack on Saturday evening. Another attack on a home later in the evening killed at least 10 people, according to the Wafa news agency.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says it is “deeply concerned for the safety and whereabouts” of Dr Mohammed Obeid, an MSF orthopaedic surgeon, who was “sheltering and working in Kamal Adwan Hospital, northern Gaza”.
In a post on X, MSF said it hadn’t been in contact with Obeid since Friday afternoon, following “intense military operations by Israeli forces” in the hospital and its surroundings.
“We call for his safety and protection, as well as for all medical staff in Gaza,” MSF added.
As we reported earlier, the World Health Organization said that Israeli authorities detained 44 male staff from the Kamal Adwan Hospital, leaving only female staff, the hospital director and one male doctor to care for 200 patients.
