Israeli Strike on UN-Run Clinic in Gaza Kills 22, Including 9 Children

On Wednesday, an Israeli strike hit a UN-run clinic in Jabalia, northern Gaza, killing 22 people, including at least nine children.

Among the victims was a newborn baby, who was decapitated by the strike. Israel claimed it targeted a Hamas “command and control center” but offered no evidence for the claim.

Hamas denied the Israeli claim and said all the victims were civilians. Gaza’s Government Media Office described the attack as a “heinous war crime.”

“We condemn in the strongest terms the continuation of the Israeli occupation’s genocide against civilians and displaced people, and we condemn this barbaric attack that targeted deliberately medical facilities and humanitarian areas,” the Media Office said.
