Médicos acusan a las tropas israelíes de profanar cadáveres y disparar contra civiles en un hospital que, según Israel, era “centro de mando” de Hamas

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:22:38 GMT

(CNN) — Los soldados israelíes que asaltaron un hospital en el norte de Gaza profanaron los cadáveres de pacientes con topadoras, dejaron que un perro militar maltratara a un hombre en silla de ruedas y dispararon a varios médicos incluso después de descartar que tuvieran vínculos con el terrorismo, según denuncias del personal y de pacientes.Las denuncias se refieren a una operación de ocho días de duración llevada a cabo por las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI) en el hospital Kamal Adwan la semana pasada, que según los militares estaba siendo utilizado como centro de mando y control por Hamas. CNN habló con dos altos cargos del personal médico, otro médico y un paciente del hospital, que aportaron testimonios que corroboran lo sucedido. CNN también revisó las pruebas de video de algunas de las afirmaciones.La evidencia pinta un cuadro inquietante de cómo las FDI llevaron a cabo la operación, mientras los médicos eran interrogados por sus conexiones con Hamas y el personal ...

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike killed 76 members of an extended family, rescue officials said Saturday, a day after the U.N. chief warned again that nowhere is safe in Gaza and that Israel’s ongoing offensive is creating “massive obstacles” to the distribution of humanitarian aid.Friday’s strike on a building in Gaza City was among the deadliest of the Israel-Hamas war, now in its 12th week, said Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defense department. He provided a partial list of the names of those killed — 16 heads of households from the al-Mughrabi family — and said the dead included women and children.Among the dead were Issam al-Mughrabi, a veteran employee of U.N. Development Program, his wife, and their five children.“The loss of Issam and his family has deeply affected us all. The U.N. and civilians in Gaza are not a target,” said Achim Steiner, the head of the agency. “This war must end.” Israel declared war after Hamas militants st...
