GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli warplanes on Wednesday bombed a central Gaza City hospital after they claimed militants opened fire from the premises, while a UN human rights chief warned that abuses by Hamas do not justify possible war crimes by Israel.
The Israeli military said in a statement that they had "targeted specific sites" in the al-Wafa rehabilitation hospital compound "in light of several occasions in which fire was opened" and "despite repeated warnings against such activities."
The military last bombed the hospital on Thursday, forcing doctors and patients -- 14 of whom were paralyzed or in a coma -- to flee the premises.
The Israeli military has repeatedly claimed hospitals are being used as launching grounds for Palestinian militants, giving those inside only minutes to flee before subjecting them to bombing raids and shelling. more
