GAZA, Apr 2 (NNN-WAFA) – At least four Palestinians were killed and 17 others were wounded yesterday, in an Israeli bombing on tents, inside the Al-Aqsa Hospital compound, in the central Gaza Strip, Palestinian eyewitnesses and sources said.
The eyewitnesses reported that, a drone fired at least one missile at tents housing displaced persons and journalists, in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Hospital in the city of Deir al-Balah.
The Israel Defence Forces said on its official X account that, an IAF (Israeli Air Force) aircraft struck an “operational Islamic Jihad command centre and terrorists positioned in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Hospital.”
Palestinian medical sources said, the attack killed four Palestinian people and injured 17 others, including two journalists, with varying injuries.
