“Aware of reports that civilians were harmed today [Tuesday] in the Beit Lahia area,” the Israeli military declared. The incident’s specifics were being investigated, it continued.
Over the past two weeks, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been conducting operations in northern Gaza, specifically in the regions of Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun.
Hussam Abu Safia, the director of the neighboring Kamal Adwan hospital in Jabalia, told the AFP news agency that youngsters were receiving treatment at the facility, which is having trouble treating patients because of a shortage of personnel and medications.
According to Abu Safia, the army detained our medical staff and staff, leaving the Kamal Adwan Hospital with nothing but first aid supplies.
Last Monday, the IDF raided the facility, claiming that Hamas fighters were using it.
The US is “deeply concerned by the loss of civilian life in this incident,” according to State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller. This was a terrible event that had a terrible outcome.
