- We operated all day and I made the decision to sleep in the hospital. In the evening, after one surgery, I heard the sound of an explosion. I went outside and saw stacks of children's bodies. Body parts and corpses were everywhere in the rooms in the hospital - one of the doctors recounted.

- There are hundreds of killed and injured. I've never seen anything like this in my life, in movies or in my imagination - said one of the representatives of the health department.

Israel on portal X (formerly Twitter) denied that its missile fell on a hospital and blamed the attack on the Palestinian organization Islamic Jihad. Initially, there was a recording in the post, but it was removed.

The film was supposed to show the moment when a rocket was to be launched by the Palestinians. However, as analysts indicate, the shelling shown in the recording was conducted about 40 minutes after the first reports of an explosion in the hospital.
