Hamas: Al-Shifa raid expression of Israeli 'confusion, hopelessness'

Hamas said the raid on al-Shifa hospital was an expression of "confusion, chaos and hopelessness" by the Israeli army amid inability to achieve the stated military goals. 

"The crimes of the occupation and the ongoing genocide war against our people and all components of life in Gaza will not create any image of victory for [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and his Nazi army," the Palestinian group said in a statement. 

"They are an expression of the state of confusion, chaos, and loss of hope in achieving any military achievement other than targeting defenceless civilians."

Hamas also renewed its call for the International Committee of the Red Cross and the World Health Organization to "protect what remains of medical facilities in the Gaza Strip".
