The remarks by Lt Col Shoshani come amid the background of media reports stating that Israel has conducted strikes on the Indonesian Hospital.
According to a report by Al Jazeera, Israeli forces have ordered the immediate evacuation of staff and patients from two of northern Gaza’s most critical hospitals.
Al Jazeera said that on Friday, Israeli soldiers surrounded the Indonesian Hospital, where many displaced Palestinians have sought shelter.
Al Jazeera reported that Israel’s targeting of medical facilities in Gaza prompted the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting on Friday, during which UN officials pleaded for the protection of the hospitals.
At the meeting, UN human rights chief Volker Turk called for an independent investigation into all Israeli attacks on medical facilities and healthcare workers in Gaza, as well as the alleged misuse of such facilities, Al Jazeera reported. (ANI)
