Twenty-one dead as Israel bombs hospital in pre-dawn blitz it claims was targeting a Hamas base
Briefly

On Sunday, Israeli missiles targeted the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, damaging the emergency facilities but resulting in no reported casualties. This action followed a phone call from Israeli security, warning about the impending strike, leading to the evacuation of patients. Allegedly, the Israeli military aimed at Hamas fighters believed to be exploiting the hospital for military purposes. In separate incidents, airstrikes in Gaza killed at least 30 individuals, including a police chief and members of his family, amid efforts for renewed ceasefire talks in Cairo between Hamas leaders and others.
The airstrike on the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital resulted in significant damage, rendering the emergency department inoperable, though fortunately, no casualties were reported as patients had been evacuated.
Israeli officials stated that the military action targeted Hamas fighters, who were allegedly using the hospital to conceal their activities, highlighting ongoing tensions and the complexities of warfare in densely populated areas.
