Fire from Israeli strike in Gaza “consumed people before it consumed anything else,” witness says

A witness to Israel’s strike on a hospital courtyard in central Gaza that killed four people has described it as “one of the worst nights” in the war.

Abu Yousef Khattab said the fire “consumed people before it consumed anything else.”

About 5,000 people had been sheltering in the courtyard when the strike hit. Israel described it as a strike on a Hamas command center.

Another witness, Um Ahmad Radi, said it was “one of the worst nights, as if it were the fire of the devil.”

It was the seventh time that the camp inside the grounds of the Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah had been struck since January, the Gaza Government Media Office said.
