The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry has released a graphic video depicting the conditions inside Al-Shifa hospital in northern Gaza. The seven-minute video, posted on the ministry’s Facebook page, shows an unnamed doctor describing the scene as wounded and injured people are strewn across the hospital floor.
A senior Israeli security official told NBC News that at least one strike at Al-Shifa Hospital was from a projectile launched by a militant group inside Gaza that had misfired. The official did not identify which group launched the projectile or specify whether Israel knew who was responsible. The official also did not say whether the IDF had launched any strikes of its own on Al-Shifa or other hospitals Friday.
The video comes amid a flurry of airstrikes close to several hospitals in Gaza, as Israeli forces continue to pummel the region in an effort to wipe out the Islamist militant group once and for all. The official said that the Israel Defense Forces was conducting an “extensive review of its operational systems and intelligence” regarding the strike.
The video has sparked outrage among human rights groups, who have called for an immediate investigation into the incident. The United Nations has also condemned the violence and called for an end to the conflict. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming days.
