Israeli strike targets rescue team, killing four

A health official has said at least four people, including a paramedic, have been killed in an Israeli air strike that hit a rescue team in Beit Hanoon in northern Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.

The emergency director at Kamal Adwan Hospital, Fares Afaneh, said the attack targeted a medical team rescuing injured people.

“Our crew moved to rescue [people] wounded by Israeli shelling, and upon its arrival, it was subjected to another bombardment. Our crew was bombed while working,” Afaneh said.

“These are Biden and America missiles that target medical staff, children, women and those safe in their homes,” Afaneh added.
