The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has denied Israeli claims about the presence of its fighters inside the Kamal Adwan Hospital that was raided by Israeli forces in northern Gaza, Anadolu reports.
“We categorically deny the presence of the resistance fighters in the hospital, which was open to everyone, including international and UN agencies,” Hamas said in a statement.
The group said the Israeli claims aim “to justify the heinous crime committed by the occupation army by evacuating and burning all sections of the hospital as part of its plan of genocide and forced displacement.”
Hamas urged the UN to form an investigation panel to look into Israeli crimes in northern Gaza, “which is witnessing a fully-fledged plan of extermination and displacement.”
