Attack on Islamic Jihad base: Israel claims

The statement of the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has come at a time when the Israeli army recently carried out an airstrike on Gaza's Al Aqsa Hospital. The Israeli army has claimed that its air strikes targeted an Islamic Jihad base and killed four terrorists of the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization. However, the hospital administration has denied allegations that the hospital premises are being used for terrorist activities. Islamic Jihad is an ally of Hamas and no statement has yet been issued by Islamic Jihad regarding the Israeli air strikes. Al Aqsa Hospital is the last operating hospital in Gaza.
