❗️Statement by Hamas:
"The criminal Zionist occupation army's destruction of the Turkish Friendship Hospital in central Gaza today is a sadistic act that reflects the barbarism of this occupier, which continues its genocide against the Palestinian people.
The destruction of the only hospital in Gaza specialized in treating cancer patients comes after a green light from the US administration, allowing the occupation to proceed with its war of extermination against our people, with total disregard for international law.
We call on the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, and all relevant legal bodies to take action against this rogue entity and its criminal leaders for this heinous and barbaric crime, along with the many war crimes that have been and continue to be committed against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip."
