Deputy Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh has stated that the United States is calling on Israel to abide by the “laws of war” in its operations against the Palestinian movement Hamas in Gaza. This information has been reported by RIA Novosti.
According to Singh, Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin is currently in constant communication with Israel’s Defense Minister, Ya’akov Galant. This emphasizes that “in this conflict, the laws of war must be adhered to.”
Singh emphasized that she is aware of reports about the strike on a hospital in Gaza, but she does not yet have enough information to comment on the situation.
Prior to this, it became known that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are conducting an investigation after reports of a missile hitting a hospital in the Gaza Strip. The incident is believed to be linked to a failed Hamas rocket launch.
On October 7th, Hamas forces launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory and announced the start of the “Flood of Al-Aqsa” operation. Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and over a hundred hostages. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country is in a state of war.
The response operation by the IDF has been named “Operation Iron Swords,” with the destruction of Hamas being one of its goals.
