Israel has criticised the German Foreign Office for a social media post questioning its recent air strike on a hospital building in northern Gaza, saying the statement lacked key facts, Al Jazeera reports.

In a post on X, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said the attack was a “precise strike” on a single building used by Hamas as a “command and control” centre, and not a general assault on a hospital. Israel did not provide any proof of Hamas’s presence in the hospital, which was also bombed in October 2023.

Since it launched its war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, Israel has repeatedly attacked medical facilities, schools and religious places in violation of the Geneva Conventions.
