On the 21st July at 2:17 PM, the IDF spokesperson released an image on twitter showing an aerial picture of a building marked as ‘Al-Wafa’ hospital.

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.
