'There was never an assassination inside a hospital'

Ibn Sina Hospital spokesperson Tawfiq al-Shobaki said the Israeli squad that assassinated three Palestinians in cold blood while they were sleeping on Tuesday was unprecedented. 

“What happened is a precedent. There was never an assassination inside a hospital. There were arrests and assaults, but not an assassination,” Shobaki said.

Tuesday’s raid took place in the occupied West Bank town of Jenin, long a bastion of armed struggle against the Israel occupation and a frequent target of Israeli raids, even before the war began.

There was no exchange of fire after disguised Israeli troops entered the hospital and killed three Palestinian receiving treatment there. Israel alleged that that three were fighters.

Al-Jazeera Arabic also showed dramatic footage on Wednesday of the Israeli assassination squad killing in the moments before they killed the three Palestinians.
