Palestinian officials and witnesses said on Wednesday that an Israeli strike killed the director of the Indonesian Hospital, a key clinic in northern Gaza.
Doctor Marwan Al-Sultan was killed in his apartment in Gaza City along with his wife, daughters and son-in-law, a relative who said he found them, Ahmed al-Sultan, told AFP.
The doctor’s body was taken to the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, his face barely recognisable, the director of that facility, Mohammad Abu Salmiya, told AFP.
The killing drew condemnation from Hamas and the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory, where Israeli forces are battling to crush the Palestinian militant group.
“We strongly condemn this heinous crime against our medical personnel, and we ask Allah to grant him and his family mercy, after a long journey of service,” the ministry said.
The Israeli army said: “The claim that as a result of the strike uninvolved civilians were harmed is being reviewed.”
It said it “struck a key terrorist from the Hamas terrorist organization in the area of Gaza City” on Wednesday.
