Hamas Accuses Israel of Killing 12 in Strike on Gaza Hospital

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says an Israeli air strike on a hospital has killed at least 12 people

Israel has not commented but says it’s attacking “terrorists” and “terrorist infrastructure” in the Gaza Strip

The hospital blast came after the UN human rights chief said Gaza had suffered a “horrendous” 48 hours

Volker Turk said the “killings” of people in UN shelters was “wholly inconsistent with protection of civilians required under international law”

Earlier, the Israeli military released footage which it said showed a “55m-long terror tunnel, 10m deep” underneath another hospital, al-Shifa

It said the footage “clearly proves that numerous buildings in the hospital’s complex are used by Hamas as cover for terrorist activities”

Hamas has repeatedly denied these allegations – as have medical staff working at Gaza City’s largest hospital

Meanwhile, Qatar – which is trying to broker a deal – says only “very minor” obstacles remain to Israeli hostages being released

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says 13,000 people have been killed in the territory since Israel began its campaign against Hamas

Israel began attacking Gaza after Hamas fighters crossed the border on 7 October, killing 1,200 Israelis and taking more than 200 hostage
