(CNN) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused what he described as “barbaric terrorists in Gaza” of “attacking” Al-Ahly Baptist Hospital in Gaza, on Tuesday, after Hamas and the Palestinian Authority accused the Israeli army of bombing the hospital.
Netanyahu said, in a statement: “So that the whole world knows: it is the barbaric terrorists in Gaza who attacked the hospital in Gaza, not the Israeli army,” and added: “Whoever brutally kills our children is killing their children as well.”
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that Israeli forces “did not carry out any operations” in the hospital area at the time it was hit.
She added, “The damage was caused by a missile fired by the Islamic Jihad movement towards Israel,” and continued: “The Islamic Jihad movement fired a barrage of missiles towards Israel, and one of the missiles landed incorrectly on the hospital.”
It stated that “Islamic Jihad’s failures posed a severe danger to civilians in Gaza.”
