Sun Apr 13 06:57:20 UTC 2025: ## Israeli Missiles Strike Gaza Hospital; No Casualties Reported
**Cairo, Egypt – April 13, 2025** – Two Israeli missiles struck the Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City on Sunday, causing significant damage to the emergency and reception departments. According to health officials, patients were evacuated from the building shortly before the attack following a phone call from someone claiming affiliation with Israeli security. While no casualties were reported by the civil emergency service, images on social media showed patients being evacuated, some appearing injured.
The Israeli military is investigating the incident. The Hamas-run government condemned the attack, accusing Israel of deliberately targeting Gaza’s healthcare system. Israel, however, maintains that Hamas utilizes civilian structures, including hospitals, for military purposes – a claim Hamas denies. This incident follows a pattern of Israeli raids on medical facilities in Gaza. A similar incident occurred in October 2023, though the cause of that blast remains disputed.
The conflicting narratives surrounding the attacks highlight the ongoing tensions in the region. The investigation into Sunday’s incident is expected to further fuel the debate about the impact of the conflict on civilian populations.
