The Israeli army said early Tuesday that its forces had killed 50 Palestinians and detained 180 others during its raid on the hospital.
“This is a clear war crime and a brazen violation of international law,” the media office said.
The media office added that at least 14,000 children are among the at least 31,810 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since last October.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in the enclaved Strip has said patients and medical staff at the besieged Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City continue their fast in Ramadan without breakfast on a second day.
It said people in the hospital lacked water and food due to the Israeli army’s siege.
