These actions are seen as a clear violation of international humanitarian law and an attack on civilians and medical staff.

Saudi Arabia calls for the activation of international accountability mechanisms to address these ongoing violations and inhumane practices by Israeli occupation forces against children, women, civilians, medical facilities, and relief teams.

The recent incident involved the Israeli army targeting Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City with a tank shell, damaging the coronary care unit and the surgical unit. The Israeli raid also resulted in the arrest of two technicians responsible for the hospital's power generator.

The hospital had already been struggling due to shortages of fuel and supplies caused by the Israeli blockade but continued to serve patients and shelter individuals from Israeli attacks.

In summary, Saudi Arabia strongly condemns Israeli attacks on Gaza hospitals, emphasizing the need for international accountability and denouncing the deliberate targeting of medical facilities and personnel.
