Sun Apr 13 06:57:20 UTC 2025: **Gaza Hospital Hit by Israeli Missiles; No Casualties Reported**
CAIRO – Two Israeli missiles struck the Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City on April 13, 2025, damaging the emergency and reception departments. Hospital staff evacuated patients prior to the attack after receiving a warning call from someone claiming to be with Israeli security. While no casualties were reported by the civil emergency service, images on social media showed patients being evacuated. The Israeli military is investigating the incident.
The Hamas government condemned the attack, accusing Israel of deliberately targeting Gaza’s healthcare system. Israel, however, maintains that Hamas uses civilian structures, including hospitals, to shield its fighters – a claim Hamas denies. This incident follows a history of Israeli raids on medical facilities in Gaza, including a deadly October 2023 blast at the same hospital, the cause of which remains disputed.
