“At least 200 people were killed Tuesday evening in an Israeli strike on a hospital compound in Gaza City, the Hamas-controlled Palestinian territory’s Health Ministry reported. In a press release, he reported “200 to 300 martyrs” killed in a bombing that hit the compound of the Ahli Arab hospital, located in the city center.
“Hundreds of victims are in the rubble,” added the Hamas ministry, without specifying whether they were dead or injured.
Asked regarding this information during a press briefing, Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari said he “does not yet have all the details.” “We will look. The strike took place a short time ago, there are already significant numbers, it is difficult to assess immediately” the situation, he said.“

In this dispatch, there are not really any new elements: Israel neither confirms nor denies. This dispatch is not published by RTBF, neither live nor in a separate article on the site.
If this information is confirmed
Belga Dispatch, October 17, 2023, 9:14 p.m.
The first questioning of the author of the strike arrives via a Belga at 9:14 p.m. The title of this dispatch is: “Israeli-Palestinian conflict – Attacking civilian infrastructure is not in accordance with international law (Michel)“
The text of the dispatch is this:
“The destruction of a hospital by Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, if this information is confirmedwould not be in compliance with international law, said the President of the European Council Charles Michel on Tuesday evening, at the end of a European summit by videoconference on the situation in the Middle East.
“We received this information during the meeting. It seems that it is confirmed. An attack once morest civilian infrastructure is not in accordance with international law,” the Belgian stressed. Questioned on the same subject, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said she was not yet able to comment on this information which had barely been received. Also questioned regarding the blockade of Gaza in terms of water, electricity and food, Mr. Michel confirmed that it was not in accordance with international law.
Ms Von der Leyen, for her part, referred to the joint declaration that the members of the European Council adopted on Sunday. This emphasizes Israel’s right to defend itself “in accordance with humanitarian and international law”, and stresses the importance of ensuring the protection of all civilians at all times, in accordance with international humanitarian law..”
This dispatch from 9:14 p.m., almost 2 hours following our first publication, is the first to cast doubt on the origin of the attack, without us knowing whether the precaution was Belga’s or Charles Michel’s. This dispatch was published in its entirety on RTBF live at 9:25 p.m.
