Local sources reported about 20 to 30 tents were completely destroyed, and burned down. These tents are close to each other, back-to-back and set up in a small space inside the hospital courtyard.
The Israeli military claimed, without providing evidence, that it struck “terrorists who were working in a command and control complex that was established in an area previously known as the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.”
According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, this is the seventh time the Israeli military has targeted tents inside the hospital courtyard, the last attack occurred on September 27.
