Somali Magazine – Since Oct. 7, at least 17,700 Palestinians have been dead and 48,780 have been injured in Israeli attacks in Gaza, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
According to Ashraf Al-Qidra, a spokesman for the Hamas-run ministry, two paramedics were injured in recent hours as Israeli forces struck an ambulance that was transporting wounded patients from Gaza’s European Hospital.
He condemned Israel’s “war on hospitals, ambulances, and medical teams.”
Israel claims Hamas operates from hospitals and has provided footage to back up its claim. In the past, Israel has struck ambulances it claims are utilized by Hamas. This has been refuted by Hamas.
After a cross-border rampage by the enclave’s dominant militant Islamist group on Oct. 7, Israeli soldiers launched an aerial and ground assault against Hamas in Gaza.
