At least 19 people, including five journalists, die from Israel’s attack on a hospital in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expresses his regret.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his regret after an Israeli attack in southern Gaza Strip with several dead.
“Israel deeply regrets the tragic accident that has occurred in the Nasser Hospital in Gaza today,” said a message spread by the office of Prime Minister Netanyahu in the evening.
Benjamin Netanyahu emphasizes fight against Hamas
According to the hospital, 19 people, among them five journalists, were killed in the Israeli attack in the Clinic in Chan Junis. The health authority controlled by the Hamas spoke of 20 dead.
Israel appreciates the work of journalists, medical staff and all civilians, continued in the message. After the incident, the military carries out a “thorough examination”. At the same time, Netanyahu emphasized that the war Israel directed against the Hamas. “Our war is directed against the terrorists of Hamas,” he assured. “Our fair goals are the destruction of Hamas and the return home of our hostages.”
A military spokesman insured transparency in the clarification. General chief of staff Ejal Zamir ordered an immediate investigation to clarify the circumstances, Effie Defrin said in a press release. “As always, we will present our results as transparently as possible.”
Israel and the “extremely complex reality”
Defrin emphasized that the army does not intentionally attack civilians. However, the troops acted in an “extremely complex reality”. According to his words, terrorists of the Islamist Hamas deliberately use civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, as protective shields. In the past, they had even operated on from the Nasser Hospital.
