Israeli Missiles Strike Gaza Hospital; Patients Safely Evacuated

On April 13, 2025, Israeli missiles struck the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, incapacitating its emergency department and damaging surrounding facilities. Patients had been evacuated following an Israeli security warning, and no casualties were reported. Israel asserted that the hospital was being used by Hamas to coordinate attacks—a claim Hamas denied—while the Anglican Church, which manages the facility, condemned the strike and called on governments to safeguard medical institutions.

Additional Israeli strikes on the same day reportedly killed at least 30 Palestinians in other areas and included the demolition of a militant tunnel in northern Gaza. The attack occurred amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations involving Hamas, Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, highlighting the escalating challenges in a region already devastated by prolonged conflict.
