The Palestinian Red Crescent Society on Friday released footage showing an ambulance that appeared to be damaged and smeared with blood after a series of strikes outside hospitals were reported. This came as Israel airstrikes hit entrances of three hospitals in northern Gaza just as staff were trying to evacuate wounded to the south, according to hospital directors. The Israeli Defense Forces in a post on X said the ambulances were being used as command centres by Hamas. A Hamas cell was identified as using an ambulance. In response, an IDF aircraft struck and neutralized the Hamas operatives operating from the ambulance.
