At least 500 people have been killed in a bombing of a hospital in Gaza City, the Palestinian Health Ministry has claimed.

A spokesman for the ministry said in a statement: "Initial estimates indicate that between 200 and 300 martyrs were killed in the bombing that targeted Baptist Hospital in Gaza city."

The ministry later revised the figure to at least 500, AP and Reuters reported.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are investigating what happened at the hospital.

Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said there were still no details on the hospital deaths, adding: "We will get the details and update the public. I don't know to say whether it was an Israeli air strike."

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared three days of mourning following the bombardment, according to state media. Abbas has also now announced his withdrawal from a planned meeting with Biden.

In a new war crime and a crime against humanity, Israeli warplanes targeted Al-Ahli Arab hospital (Baptist Hospital) in Gaza Strip

🚨UPDATE - Hamas Press Statement:

"The Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital massacre in the middle of the Gaza Strip is a crime of genocide. Enough silence over the arrogance and recklessness of the occupation."

"The horrific massacre carried out by the Zionist occupation in the Arab National Hospital in the middle of the Gaza Strip, during which hundreds of martyrs, wounded, and wounded died, most of them displaced families, patients, children, and women, is a crime of genocide that once again reveals the truth about this enemy and its fascist government and its terrorism, and exposes American and Western support for this criminal occupation entity."

"The international community and the Arab and Islamic countries must assume their responsibility and intervene immediately, now and not tomorrow, to stop the arrogance of the occupation and its fascist army and hold it accountable for the genocide it has been committing for eleven days."

You're just a bloody idiot and a bloodthirsty murderous thug like the IDF.

The only difference here is your stinking cowardice.

Most decent people around the world know the IDF is an army of killers of innocent people without real stuff except goons your type.

Hamas is underground for God's sake.
Let them get down into the tunnels to get Hamas if they can!!!

Why murder people taking shelter in the Hospital?

I know the end of the Zionists is very close.

Insha Allah

The hamas commander killed today was killed in refugee camp

Make hamas have regard for their people and stop using them for shield

And hope these hospitals are relocating as at when told

misreal:
As in eh.they keep using their innocent citizens as shields.but what about the people who are purposely shielding them?

judatech:
No winner in this War... everybody will lose something precious before they come to their senses 😢

doctokwus:
In as much as there is collective angts in the civilised world to the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas,Israel should not lose that goodwill by equally barbaric,unwarranted attack on Hospitals and indeed other civilian places of refuge.
Even if Hamas is using those places as staging points,as Isreal likes to use as reason for these attacks, no justification exists for killing innocent people for a single Hamas militant or hideout,none at all.
Goodwill can easily turn in this fast paced world of internet and social media.Israel is playing into the hands of Hamas
