Full statement as received by Sawa News Agency:
Statement from the General Directorate of Police – Gaza Strip:
Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis was subjected this evening to a criminal assault by a group acting outside the law and national consensus, in collusion with the Israeli occupation. Exploiting the chaos caused by the intense Israeli aggression on Khan Yunis and under air cover from Israeli warplanes, these individuals opened fire inside the hospital, vandalized its property, and set several ambulances on fire.
Despite the ongoing Israeli attacks, a police unit responded to this group of criminals, securing the hospital grounds and pursuing the attackers. Several of them were arrested, while others were neutralized.
The police affirms that, despite the severity of the aggression, it will continue to fulfill its duty to maintain civil peace, protect public and private property, and safeguard the community’s resources. This heinous crime is part of the occupation’s policy to systematically target Gaza’s healthcare system in an attempt to render it completely out of service.
