Israeli military bombs European Gaza Hospital
After the attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, the Israeli military has now heavily bombed the European Gaza Hospital in the southern Gaza city.
The Israeli army confirmed it worked with internal security agency Shin Bet to attack the hospital, which it claimed housed an underground “command-and-control centre” for Hamas.
Israel’s military repeatedly gives this justification without providing evidence when it bombs schools-turned-shelters and medical facilities.
At 2:45 am on 13 May, an Israeli airstrike targeted one of the buildings of Nasser hospital's medical complex, killing 2 people and injuring 12, according to the Ministry of Health. Our team is providing surgery to 2 of the wounded. This is the second attack on the same building… pic.twitter.com/ipFFnzU04W

Death toll rises in Israeli attack on European Hospital
Gaza’s Health Ministry says nine missiles slammed into and around the courtyard of the European Gaza Hospital in the south of the besieged enclave, killing at least 16 people and wounding 70 others.
The fate of several others remains unclear as rescue operations are under way, a civil emergency official said.
The Israeli military earlier said it struck a “Hamas command centre” beneath the hospital.
Three rockets launched at Israel from Gaza, Yemen missile fall short
The Israeli military reports its air defences shot down two rockets launched from the Gaza Strip, and a third fell in an open area without inflicting any casualties.
The Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, claimed the attack, which triggered air raid alarms across southern Israel. The group said it was in response to “Zionist massacres against our Palestinian people”.
The Israeli army earlier said a missile was launched by the Houthis in Yemen, but it fell short before reaching Israel and did not trigger any alarms.
