Hamas has slammed an Israeli statement saying a strike on a Gaza hospital that killed several journalists was aimed at a camera operated by Hamas, calling the accusation “baseless,” AFP reports.

Israel “attempted to justify this crime by fabricating a false claim that it had targeted a ‘camera’ belonging to resistance elements — an allegation that is baseless, lacking any evidence, and merely aimed at evading legal and moral responsibility for a full-fledged massacre,” the group said in a statement.
