Hamas on Wednesday codemned the Israeli attack on a clinic belonging to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) as "a continuation of genocide and a reflection of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s disregard for international laws and humanitarian norms."
The movement denied Israeli claims that the clinic was being used as a headquarters for its Jabalia Battalion, dismissing the allegations as "blatant fabrications aimed at justifying this heinous crime."
The Israeli army on Wednesday killed 19 Palestinians, including nine children, in an attack on an Unrwa clinic that was sheltering displaced civilians in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, according to Palestinian health officials.
