Members of the IDF and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are denying that Israel is responsible for a hospital destroyed by rockets in Gaza. The Hamas-run Health Ministry says at least 500 were killed in the deadly strike.
“The whole world knew: The barbarian terrorists in Gaza are the ones who attacked the hospital in Gaza, not the IDF,” Bibi wrote on X. “He who brutally murdered our children, also murders his children.”
The entire world should know: It was barbaric terrorists in Gaza that attacked the hospital in Gaza, and not the IDF.
Those who brutally murdered our children also murder their own children.

The Israeli Defense Forces are investigating the hospital incident, insisting it wasn’t a target.
“A hospital is a highly sensitive building and is not an IDF target,” the IDF said earlier.
“The IDF is investigating the source of the explosion and, like always, is prioritizing accuracy and reliability,” it said. “We urge everyone to proceed with caution when reporting on the unverified claims of a terrorist organization.”
Gilad Erdan, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, said the terrorists in Gaza “are not only responsible for murdering Israeli children – they also murder Palestinian children!”
“You’ve seen Hamas and PIJ beheading children. Stop believing these ISIS-like terrorists,” he wrote on social media. “The only ones shooting indiscriminate missiles at civilians are the Palestinians, who have been doing it for years!”
