Israeli army confirms it hit ambulance, says it was being used by Hamas

The Israeli military has confirmed its “aircraft struck an ambulance” outside al-Shifa Hospital.

The army claims it was being used by Hamas fighters.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said the ambulances were transporting injured patients to the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.

A ministry spokesman also said earlier that the Red Cross had been informed the medical convoy was leaving the hospital before it was attacked.

More from the Palestinian health ministry spokesman

Al-Qudra told reporters that two ambulance vehicles were targeted today.

The first vehicle was targeted at Ansar Roundabout in Gaza City, he said. The driver of this ambulance was injured and a paramedic also suffered critical injuries and is still in the operating room, al-Qudra said.

The medical convoy then turned back, the spokesperson said, and a second ambulance was targeted when it arrived at the gate of the al-Shifa Hospital complex.

Fifteen people were killed in the attack on the second ambulance, al-Qudra said. Sixteen others were injured.

I wrote about Israel targeting ambulances in Lebanon; I saw it happen. Months later I ran into an Aussie reporter I knew; she told me (sheepishly) my story had caused a scandal, readers thought it wasn’t true&she’d been sent to investigate. I said, oh ok. And, yes, it was true

Des villages frontaliers du Liban-Sud, en passant par les quartiers de la banlieue-sud de Beyrouth, et occasionnellement le Kesrouan et le Liban-Nord, les frappes israéliennes aplatissent tout sur leur chemin : immeubles, maisons, aéroport, hôpitaux , ponts, centrales électriques. Même des ambulances sont ciblées.
