On Tuesday, Indonesia denied statements made by an Israeli army spokesman in which he said that there was a network of tunnels beneath a hospital it financed the construction of in the besieged and impoverished northern Gaza Strip, as the Israeli war on it entered its second month.
The talk here is about the Indonesian hospital, which is located north of the Gaza Strip, and it and its surroundings have been subjected to Israeli bombing that has intensified in recent days.
The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement carried by Agence France-Presse: “The Indonesian Hospital in Gaza is a facility built entirely by the Indonesian people for the humanitarian goals of serving the medical needs of the Palestinian people in Gaza.”
An Israeli army spokesman said on Monday night that “there is intelligence information indicating that the Hamas movement is using health facilities in Gaza for terrorist purposes, including the Indonesian hospital.”
The Palestinians deny this
On the other hand, the Palestinians categorically deny using these hospitals for military purposes.
The Palestinian Minister of Health in Ramallah, Mai Kayla, said: “The Israeli claims about Gaza hospitals are aimed at creating excuses to target them.”
Bloody news from the media to your mind. Do you feel guilty?

In turn, the Norwegian doctor, Mads Gilbert, who worked for years at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, the most prominent health center in Gaza, stated that throughout his work in the hospital he did not see any military presence.
Palestinian figures say that the Israeli raids on Gaza targeted 110 health facilities, and 16 hospitals and 32 primary care centers were taken out of service due to the bombing and the depletion of fuel.
