According to the Israeli army, around 21 terrorists were killed in fighting at the Al-Quds Hospital in the Gaza Strip. Israeli soldiers were shot at by terrorists with two rocket-propelled grenades and smaller weapons from the entrance area of the hospital in the city of Gaza, the army said. The attackers mingled with a group of civilians.
It is said that the soldiers fired back and were also supported by the air force. Other terrorists came from neighboring buildings, also mingled with civilians and fired at the soldiers. The attackers with the rocket-propelled grenades hid back in the hospital after the shelling. Around 21 terrorists were killed during the battle. The Israeli army suffered no losses. A tank was damaged.
“This incident is another example of Hamas’ continued abuse of civilian structures, including hospitals, to carry out attacks,” the army said. With 700 beds, the hospital is the main clinical complex in the Gaza Strip and offers emergency and surgical care. Israel accuses Hamas of using the hospital as a command and control center.
