Those who brutally murdered our children also murder their own children.
Additionally, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are conducting an investigation into the hospital incident and maintain that the facility was not deliberately targeted.
IDF said, “A hospital is a highly sensitive building and is not an IDF target.”
It continued, “The IDF is investigating the source of the explosion and, like always, is prioritizing accuracy and reliability. We urge everyone to proceed with caution when reporting on the unverified claims of a terrorist organization,” in a statement to Fox, as shared by Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst.

Also, Gilad Erdan, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, declared, “The Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Central Gaza was not hit by Israel - it was hit by a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket.”
He also claimed, “The terrorists in Gaza are not only responsible for murdering Israeli children - they also murder Palestinian children!”
In his tweet on X, he further accused Palestinians, writing, “You’ve seen Hamas and PIJ beheading children. Stop believing these ISIS-like terrorists. The only ones shooting indiscriminate missiles at civilians are the Palestinians, who have been doing it for years!”
