United Nations experts held "Israel" responsible for targeting the Baptist Hospital in Gaza, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Geneva confirmed.

According to a statement published by UN experts, "The strike reportedly followed two warnings issued by Israel that an attack on the hospital was imminent if people inside were not evacuated."

UN experts denounced the bombing of hospitals and schools as "crimes against humanity," demanding the prevention of genocide.

The statement added that "The complete siege of Gaza coupled with unfeasible evacuation orders and forcible population transfers, is a violation of international humanitarian and criminal law."

"Considering statements made by Israeli political leaders and their allies, accompanied by military action in Gaza and escalation of arrests and killing in the West Bank, there is also a risk of genocide against the Palestine people," the UN experts said.

The Islamic Resistance Movement in Palestine - Hamas, confirmed in a statement on Wednesday that "the occupation is directly responsible for the Baptist Hospital massacre."

Hamas stressed that the occupation’s blatant lies "will not deceive anyone" and that the occupation "is trying in vain to disavow its commission of the Baptist Hospital massacre, by presenting a false narrative and marketing it through blatant propaganda and talk that does not touch reality at all.

The movement issued the statement after at least 500 people were martyred in an Israeli airstrike on al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, according to the Ministry of Health, in a new massacre committed by the Israeli occupation, amid widespread international and Arab condemnations.
