OVER 1000 CIVILIANS KILLED IN ISRAEL ATTACK ON GAZA HOSPITAL


Over 1000 Civilians Killed in Israel Attack on Gaza Hospital

 

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Israeli airstrikes on The Al-Ahli Hospital, previously known as Al-Mamadani, has resulted in death of over 1000 civilians, and the death toll may increase as many victims are still under the rubble. 


The attack on hospital is amid the regime's relentless aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip.

On Tuesday, the Gaza health ministry said Israeli airstrikes on the central Gaza hospital compound killed hundreds of people, mainly women and children.

"Hundreds of victims are still under the rubble," it added.

Thousands of civilians were seeking medical treatment and shelter in the hospital from relentless Israeli airstrikes.


The attack is the deadliest Israeli airstrike in five wars fought since 2008, the Palestinian Civil Defense said.

“The massacre at al-Ahli Arab Hospital is unprecedented in our history. While we’ve witnessed tragedies in past wars and days, but what took place tonight is tantamount to genocide,” spokesman Mahmoud Basal said.

The media office of Hamas described the attack as a "war crime."

"The hospital was housing hundreds of sick and wounded, and people forcibly displaced from their homes" because of other strikes, a statement said.


The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) condemned the Israeli attack as genocide.

Meamtime, Russia and the United Arab Emirates have requested an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council after the Gaza hospital attack.

“Russia and the UAE have requested an urgent open meeting of the UN Security Council for the morning of October 18 over the Gaza hospital strike,” Russia’s Deputy UN Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy says.

Thousands of people have taken to the streets outside the Israeli consulate in Istanbul to protest the killing of Palestinians in an Israeli air strike on a hospital in Gaza.

Poll: US Public Support for Israel Wanes as 68 Percent Call for Ceasefire

  TEHRAN (FNA)- Israel’s war on Gaza is upsetting many Americans who think it must follow growing demands for an immediate ceasefire, according to a new poll. The Reuters/Ipsos survey found only 32 percent of respondents said “the US should support Israel”. That is down from 41 percent from a poll conducted on October 12-13 – just days after the war broke out. About 68 percent of respondents said they agreed with the statement, “Israel should call a ceasefire and try to negotiate”. Some 39 percent supported the idea “the US should be a neutral mediator”, compared with 27 percent a month earlier. Only 4 percent of respondents said the United States should support Palestinians, while 15 percent said the US shouldn’t be involved at all in the war. While the US has been a significant Israeli ally, just 31 percent of respondents said they supported sending Israel weapons. The plunge in support...

  TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The United States poses the greatest danger to the world when it comes to the risks of a potential nuclear conflict, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang told journalists on Friday.

The damning statement came in response to the Pentagon’s decision to upgrade US Forces Japan into a joint force headquarters under the command of a three-star officer reporting to the commander of the Indo-Pacific Command. The announcement was made by the US Defense Department in late July following the meeting of the American and Japanese defense and foreign policy chiefs. US Defense Secretary Llyod Austin hailed the development as “one of the strongest improvements in our military ties with Japan in 70 years” at that time. He also said that the two sides “held a separ...
