At least 13 people have been killed in a blast outside Gaza City’s biggest hospital, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says.
BBC Verify has verified graphic videos showing badly injured and possibly dead people lying outside the hospital.
The Israeli military has confirmed it struck an ambulance that it says was being used by Hamas operatives.
It did not say where the air strike took place.
“An IDF aircraft struck an ambulance that was identified by forces as being used by a Hamas terrorist cell in close proximity to their position in the battle zone,” it said in a statement.

Objectively not. Most of the decision makers for Hamas live comfortably in Quatar.
It’s probably the multi-decades long commitment to genocide.
You think Israel has been planning this genocide for that long? Interesting take that I’d yet to hear.
The state of Israel was founded as a colonial settler project. If you have never heard this before I’d be shocked to learn you’re from anywhere but the US
Hamas has had genocide in its charter since it’s establishment.
I mean that’s not what they’re talking about (they’re just being a bigot), but this is just an escalation of the genocide that started in 1967.
I’m not sure that’s what he meant. @mwguy could you clarify about Israels multi-decade long commitment to genocide? You’re not a bigot either, right MW?
Tiny Pizza, Has has had a multi-decades long commitment to genocide. My whole life Hamas has been calling for the murder of every Jew on the planet consistently.
Really? How many did they kill?
As many as they’ve been able too. They went from stonings to gunfights to suicide bombers to rocket artillery to paraglider slave raids in my lifetime.
My whole life I’ve seen them dedicate more and more firepower to explicitly killing civilians
So ballpark?
~$1bn/yr worth of genocide.
It’s weird because I read that comment as saying hamas is motivated by its founding desire to eradicate Israel. Everyone else seems to be reading as Israel is motivated to destroy or takeover Palestine. Both are pretty genocidal atm tho. Poor civilians trapped in the middle.
Interesting. I guess we’ll have to see what he says!
If Hamas is based in Qatar why are they bombing hospitals and refugee camps in Gaza?
Hamas top leadership is in Quatar. They’re insulated from the society they’ve created.
So the “wipe out hamas” operation is actually just a collective punishment for an organisation that they dont even think is based in Gaza. Glad you’re willing to admit that
There’s an estimated 40,000 strong Hamas army in the Gaza strip. That army has leaders and infrastructure on the ground in the Strip and was used to attack Israel on their big attack.
Eliminating the ability for that army to conduct operations is Israel’s goal. Just because their (Hamas) top political and military leaders are based in Quatar doesn’t mean Hamas isn’t in the Gaza Strip.
So no, it’s not an organization based outside of Gaza.
