Iranian spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei strongly denounced the Israeli attack on the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, where innocent Palestinians were killed in a tragic fire caused by incendiary bombs. Baqaei labeled the attack as a clear war crime and part of the Zionist regime’s genocide agenda in Palestine.
Referencing international law that prohibits aggression towards civilian sites like hospitals, Baqaei emphasized that the Israeli regime’s deliberate targeting of medical facilities should be prosecuted as war crimes. He criticized the US and the UK for shielding Israel from accountability, despite evidence of their atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon.
The recent attack killed at least four people and wounded many others, prompting outrage and calls for justice on social media. Israeli forces have a history of targeting medical facilities in Gaza, including shelters and tent sites, during their prolonged assault on the region.
