A massive explosion in a hospital in Gaza city. According to Palestinian health officials, at least 500 people died. Hamas said- the result of Israel’s air attack.
There has been a terrible and horrifying attack on Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City. According to Palestinian health officials, 500 people have been killed in this attack.
Hamas says that this attack was carried out by Israel. However, Israel says that it has no role in this attack. This explosion was caused by the mis-fire of a missile of Hamas.
According to the employees working in the hospital, more than 80 percent of the hospital has been destroyed in this attack.
Attack on Gaza hospital, how much truth is there in Israel’s claims?
Israel has accused Hamas of the attack at a time when Hamas does not have missiles capable of causing a big explosion that can destroy a large hospital by 80 percent.
Even before this, when Hamas attacked Israel, Israel suffered only minor losses in these attacks.
Till now, it has never been seen that an entire building in Israel has been destroyed in any missile attack by Hamas.

On the other hand, whenever Israel has dropped missiles on Gaza, there has been massive destruction. The Internet is filled with photos and videos of buildings being destroyed in Gaza by Israeli missiles.
Commenting on the capability of the Palestinian resistance force, to carry out such an attack, American NBC channel anchor said:
The Palestinians do not have any missile that can cause such a huge threat and destruction. Israel has a long history of lying and blaming others.
U.S made Mk-84 missile that destroyed hospital
Remember that just a few days before the attack on the hospital, the Israeli Army had released a video in which the Mk-84 missile with an explosive capacity of one ton was shown.
The American newspaper Wall Street Journal wrote that the bomb that attacked the hospital in Gaza was an American MK-84 bomb.
The Mk-48 is a multi-purpose free fall bomb manufactured in the United States that weighs about a ton and has very high destructive power.
After the attack on the hospital by Israel, the scene of destruction and devastation can be seen everywhere from the videos and pictures that appeared on the internet.
In many of the videos released after attack, hospital equipment and human bodies can be seen on the road.
Nothing can justify striking a hospital.
Nothing can justify targeting civilians.France condemns the attack on the Al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza, which made so many Palestinian victims. Our thoughts are with them. All the light must be shed on the circumstances.

According to Palestinian sources, 5000 people were present in the hospital when the attack was carried out.
Many of these were those who were injured in the previous Israeli bombing of Gaza and were undergoing treatment, while there were also some people who were taking shelter in the hospital to escape the Israeli bombing.
World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has strongly condemned the attack.
He appealed for the safety of life and property of the common people and said that Israel should withdraw the order given to the people to vacate the area.

The International Red Cross has said that it is shocked by this attack.
The organization issued a statement saying, “Hospitals are safe havens where human life is saved. They cannot be scenes of devastation and death. No injured person should be murdered on a hospital bed.”
According to Palestine’s Health Ministry, so far 3000 people have died and 11000 are injured in Israel’s attack on Gaza. Most of those killed and injured are children and women.
