The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli forces opened fire inside the wards of the Ibn Sina Hospital in the town of Jenin. The ministry condemned the raid and called on the international community to pressure Israel’s military to halt such operations in hospitals. A hospital spokesperson said there was no exchange of fire, indicating that it was a targeted killing.
Footage said to be security camera video from the hospital that circulated on social media showed about a dozen undercover forces, most of them armed, dressed as women with Muslim headscarves or hospital staff in scrubs or white doctor’s coats. One in a surgical mask carried a rifle in one arm and a folded wheelchair in the other. The forces were seen patting down one man who kneeled against a wall, his arms raised.
Here’s the statement
The martyrs who were assassinated in #Jenin early this morning in Ibn Sina Hospital are:
Basil was wounded by the IOF airstrike during an invasion into Jenin on October 25th, 2023. For the last four months, he has been in Ibn Sina Hospital receiving treatment. The occupation forces assassinated him, his brother, and their friend Mohammed while they were visiting him.
Glory to the martyrs.
