They said they had information that “Hamas’ approach is to transport terrorists and weapons in ambulances.”
The Hamas-controlled health ministry had previously said 13 people were killed and 26 others injured in the attack. The official claimed that injured people were being transported to the border crossing so they could be treated in Egypt. The information provided by both parties has not yet been independently verified.
The Health Ministry said the attack took place outside the entrance to Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The Israeli army said the area under fire was a “combat zone.” The military has repeatedly asked civilians to flee south for their own safety.
Israel accuses Hamas of hiding command centers and entrances to tunnel systems at the hospital.
