TEHRAN (Defapress) - At least three Palestinians were killed and over 18 others injured on Sunday in an Israeli attack targeting displaced persons’ tents in a hospital in the central Gaza Strip, the government media office said.

“The Israeli occupation forces committed a massacre within the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital by bombing several tents housing displaced persons,” the media office said in a statement on the attack on Deir al-Balah.

“This brutal attack resulted in the martyrdom of three individuals and more than 18 injuries so far, including serious injuries currently being treated by the medical teams at the hospital,” it added.

The media office condemned “in the strongest terms this new massacre perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces.”

It urged “the international community and international and UN organizations to pressure the Israeli occupation to stop the genocide and the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip.”

Israel, flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an attack last October by Hamas.
