ISRAEL BOMBS AMBULANCE IN GAZA, KILLING 13 PALESTINIANS

On Friday, November 3, 2023, Israel bombed an ambulance convoy in the Gaza Strip, killing 13 Palestinians and wounding 26. The attack came amid an escalation of violence between Israel and Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip. Loop.

The attack occurred at 11:30 a.m. local time, when a convoy of ambulances was heading to Gaza's Al Shifa hospital to pick up wounded from a previous Israeli attack. The convoy was made up of four ambulances, one of which was hit by an Israeli missile.

The attack left 13 Palestinians dead, including a 10-year-old boy and two women. The injured were taken to Al Shifa hospital, where they were in critical condition.

Gaza's Health Ministry called the attack a "war crime." The World Health Organization (WHO) also condemned the attack, calling it a "deliberate attack against medical staff and patients."

Israel claimed the attack was a mistake and that the ambulance convoy was hit by a missile intended for a nearby military target. However, images of the attack show that the ambulance convoy was clearly identified as such.

The attack sparked a wave of international outrage. The European Union, the United States and the United Nations condemned the attack and demanded an independent investigation.

The attack came amid an escalation of violence between Israel and Hamas. On November 2, Israel launched an air offensive against the Gaza Strip in response to rocket attacks launched by Hamas. The airstrike killed 20 Palestinians, including 10 civilians.

The attack on the ambulance is a reminder of the violence and destruction that the conflict between Israel and Hamas has caused. The attack is also a reminder of the importance of protecting civilians and humanitarian workers.
