At least 30 Palestinians were killed and more than 100 others injured by Israeli bombing on a field hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, the Gaza-based health authorities said on Saturday.
The hospital was located inside the Khadija School, and the Israeli army bombed the hospital with three missiles from fighter jets, the local media office said on Saturday, noting that Israeli attacks have put enormous pressure on medical teams and caused a shortage of health and medical supplies in Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed in a statement on Saturday that the Israeli Air Force struck "terrorists" operating in a Hamas command and control center inside the Khadija School compound in central Gaza.
"Hamas terrorists used the compound as a hiding place to direct and plan numerous attacks against IDF troops and the state of Israel," the IDF said, noting that prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians.
Meanwhile, the Gaza-based health authorities said that Israeli attacks in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, since Saturday morning have killed at least 23 Palestinians and injured more than 89 others.
The IDF said in a separate statement on Saturday that IDF troops conducted targeted raids on "terror infrastructure sites" above and below the ground in Khan Younis, locating large amounts of weaponry, including shoulder-launched missiles, grenades, AK-47s and additional military equipment.
The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 39,258, the Gaza-based health authorities said Saturday.
