Hospital Attacks Lay Bare Israel’s Savagery: Iranian Spokesman


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry denounced the military strikes on the hospitals in Gaza as a testament to the Zionist regime’s aggression and brutality.

“After the failure of the Israeli regime authorities to prove their false claims on al-Shifa hospital, its army resumed its attacks on other hospitals in Gaza. Attacks on Jordan & Indonesian hospitals were yet another manifestation of the regime's aggression and brutality,” Nasser Kanaani said in a post on his X account on Friday night.

“Attacking hospitals is in conflict with all standards of human rights, international law and Geneva Conventions and makes the criminal nature of this regime even more obvious to the world,” he added.

At least 12,000 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.

Doctors at al-Shifa hospital of Gaza say the Israeli army has told the hospital to evacuate.

About 450 patients were evacuated, while about 120 were left behind because they were immobile, according to Munir al-Barsh, director general of Gaza’s Health Ministry.

The health system has collapsed in Gaza after the brutal Israeli onslaught, just one element of a wider humanitarian crisis amid fears of disease and starvation.
