Israel’s army had informed, without providing evidence, that Hamas maintained a base of operations in the hospital. “The Israel Defense Forces and Israeli security forces attacked a command and control center used by Hamas at the hospital Al Ahli, in northern Gaza. The complex was used by Hamas terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and troops,” said a military statement after the attack, which took place after 1:30 am.
Hamas denied in a statement to have used the medical center for military purposes, which described as “a flagrant repetition of the lies that the occupation [israelí] promotes to justify their brutal crimes against shelters, innocent civilians and hospitals. ”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Palestinian condemned the attack, and recalled that Israel has left out of service – during 18 months of war with more than 50,000 dead – a total of 34 hospitals of the strip in attacks, military sieges and raids, despite being protected buildings in case of conflict by international humanitarian law. “The occupation [israelí] He has already deliberately destroyed 34 hospitals in the Gaza Strip, leaving them out of service, in conjunction with their policy continues to deprive citizens of food, denying their basic needs and medications, ”said the ministry in a statement.
