Israel kills at least four in attack on Gaza hospital courtyard
ISRAELI forces killed at least four people today when they targeted a hospital courtyard in the Gaza Strip.
The attack set off a firestorm that swept through a tent camp for people displaced by the war, leaving dozens with severe burns, according to Palestinian medics.
The Israeli military once again claimed it was targeting Palestinian fighters, without providing evidence. In recent months Israeli forces have repeatedly struck crowded shelters in schools and tent camps, alleging that Hamas fighters were using them as staging grounds for attacks.
