PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES: The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has condemned the targeting of a convoy of ambulances in Gaza by Israeli forces on Friday, which it says killed 15 people and wounded more than 60 others.
The PRCS said in a statement early Saturday that one of its ambulances was struck 'by a missile fired by the Israeli forces', about two meters from the entrance to the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City.The attack resulted in the deaths of 15 civilians and wounded 60 other people, it said, mirroring figures released earlier by the Hamas-run health ministry.
In the aftermath of the strike, they saw a child being carried away and a dead horse tied to a cart beside a blood-spattered Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance.In a series of statements, Hamas denied that its fighters had been inside the ambulances, which it said were hit by Israeli forces while they were transporting the wounded from Gaza City towards the Rafah crossing with Egypt.
