Gaza: Paris ‘strongly condemns’ attack on Jordanian military hospital

The Israeli army has been tightening control over the Gaza Strip, and especially over its hospitals, for several days now. France on Thursday “strongly” condemned the attack on a Jordanian military hospital in the Gaza Strip, which wounded seven people, and recalled that international humanitarian law is binding “for everyone.”

International humanitarian law “in particular provides for the protection of hospital infrastructure and always and everywhere establishes clear principles of distinction, necessity, proportionality and precaution,” said Anne-Claire Legendre, a spokeswoman for the French Foreign Ministry. release.

Seven wounded paramedics

A strike outside a Jordanian hospital in Gaza City wounded seven health workers on Wednesday, drawing condemnation from the Arab League, according to Jordanian news agency Petra. Also on Wednesday, the Israeli army launched a “targeted” operation at the main hospital facility in the Gaza Strip, Al-Shifa Hospital, which Israel presents as a strategic and military center for Hamas, which the Palestinian movement denies.

His raid continued Thursday at the facility, where thousands of Palestinian civilians have gathered, causing serious concern and criticism. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported on Thursday a “brutal attack” by Israeli tanks that “besieged” the Ahli Arab hospital, another facility, in the Gaza Strip.

At least 11,500 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli bombing in the Gaza Strip since the war began, including 4,710 children and 3,160 women, according to the Hamas government’s latest report released Wednesday night. The Hamas attack on the Israeli side killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, on October 7, according to Israeli authorities.

The Israeli military estimates that about 240 people were taken hostage during the Hamas attack. On Thursday it announced the deaths of three more soldiers in fighting in the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of soldiers killed in the Palestinian territory since October 7 to 51.
