Meanwhile, the Israeli military argued that its troops were indeed targeting a “Hamas” camera in the air strike to the Nasser Hospital.
The Israeli military said the attack on the medical center was carried out after its troops “identified a camera that was installed by Hamas in the Nasser Hospital area.”
IDF troops said they “acted to eliminate threats by hitting and dismantling the camera.”
The Israeli military also claimed six of the dead individuals were “terrorists”.Tel Aviv said that the Chief of Military Staff had also ordered “further review of a number of possibilities”, including the matter of “the authorization process before the attack.”
The latest Israeli attacks reap criticism from various parties, including Israeli traditional allies, United Nations (UN), International Media, Human Rights Groups, and Foreign Press Associations based in Israel.
