Russia classifies the recent attack against the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza as a crime and an act of dehumanization, according to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. 

"Of course, we classify such a criminal act as a crime, as an act of dehumanization," Zakharova told Radio Sputnik, adding that Israel must provide satellite images to prove that its army is not involved in the attack.

Zakharova said that the situation has evolved far beyond being a regional crisis: describing it as a global humanitarian disaster.

Last night, more than 800 Palestinians were massacred in an Israeli strike on al-Ahli Hospital, which housed over a thousand people, including Palestinian refugees, patients, and media personnel. 

Hours after the Israeli massacre against defenseless civilians in al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian took to X to further call on leaders to end Israeli crimes.

پس از جنایت هولناک رژیم صهیونیستی در بمباران و قتل‌عام بیش از هزار نفر از زنان و کودکان بی‌گناه در بیمارستان #المعمدانی زمان برای اتحاد جهانی بشریت علیه این رژیم جعلی منفورتر از داعش و ماشین کشتارش فرارسیده است.

Amir-Abdollahian stressed that "the time has come for global human unity against this [Israeli] fake regime that is more abominable than ISIS and its killing machine."

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi warned that "the flames of US-Israeli bombs dropped this evening on the Palestinian victims injured at the... hospital in Gaza will soon consume the Zionists," according to IRNA.
