Palestinian Ministry of Health made a statement regarding the attack on the Baptist Hospital (Al-Ahli Arab Hospital) in Gaza. The Ministry described the attack as a 'massacre' and emphasized that most of the dead were children and women.

In a statement by the Palestinian Ministry of Health regarding the attack on the Baptist Hospital last night, "The massacre at the Baptist Hospital is unique and indescribable. Most of the victims of the Baptist massacre are children and women. The number of people killed and injured exceeds the capacity of medical teams and ambulances. Doctors are performing surgeries on the floor and in the corridors, some without anesthesia. Many people are still waiting for surgery and others are trying to survive in intensive care. The effects of the massacre are indescribable, the occupiers have violated all traditions, documents and humanitarian laws, killing patients and citizens all over the Gaza Strip."

ISRAEL CLAIMS IT DID NOT HIT THE HOSPITAL

In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces claimed that the attack on the hospital was not organized by them and said, "A failed rocket launched by the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization hit the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City."

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said, "The whole world must know: It was not the IDF that attacked the hospital in Gaza, but the barbaric terrorists in Gaza. Those who brutally murder our children are murdering their own children."
