ISRAEL (VINnews)-The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have demolished the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in the central Gaza Strip, as confirmed by footage circulating on social media. This action follows the IDF’s previous use of the hospital as a base of operations during their deployment in the Netzarim Corridor.

According to a report by the Washington Post, the IDF had previously uncovered a Hamas tunnel network that ran beneath the hospital. While the military has not provided immediate comments regarding the demolition, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) has stated that the IDF’s actions were aimed at dismantling Hamas infrastructure in the area.
COGAT noted, “Another hospital can be added to this list. In recent months, Hamas terrorists exploited a site in northern Gaza which previously served as the ‘Turkish’ hospital as a command and control center, from which they directed and carried out terrorist attacks against IDF troops and Israel.”
The IDF confirmed that the hospital was being used by Hamas operatives and stated that they conducted an airstrike targeting a group of these operatives. The military emphasized that the building had not functioned as an active hospital for over a year.
Footage shared online appears to depict a controlled demolition of the hospital rather than an airstrike.
How come the Red Cross didn’t inform the world court that this terrorism was happening there?
Eat that, Erdogan.
They have. Look up the ICC.
