The Health Ministry in Gaza reported that 13 Palestinians were killed and 26 others were injured in an Israeli bombing on Friday that targeted ambulances outside Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
The ministry condemned the incident as a massacre and stated that the ambulances were carrying wounded individuals for treatment in Egypt. Despite notifying international organizations and countries about the ambulance movement, the attack took place. The ministry called on the international community to hold those responsible accountable.
Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra mentioned that there were numerous casualties and injuries in an Israeli strike on an ambulance convoy heading south to reach the Rafah land crossing.
The Al-Shifa Medical Complex, located in the central-western part of Gaza City, is the largest medical health institution in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier on Friday, Ashraf al-Qidra had announced plans to send critically injured Palestinians who urgently needed medical care to Egypt from besieged Gaza City to the south.
The Israeli army has intensified its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has faced continuous airstrikes since the surprise offensive by Hamas on October 7.
The conflict has resulted in a significant loss of life, with more than 10,700 people killed, including at least 9,240 Palestinians and over 1,538 Israelis.
