The Palestinian ambassador to Tokyo, Walid Ali Siyam, has made a statement regarding a phone call warning from Israel an hour before the strike on the Al-Ahli Hospital, but later retracted his statement, as reported by TASS.
The diplomat asserts that the strike was carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and due to the dire situation with medication and the water and energy blockade imposed by Israel, the number of casualties will continue to rise.
Later, Walid Ali Siyam retracted his statement about the warning call from Israel an hour before the strike, stating that similar calls had been received from Israel in the previous days, but there was no call on the night of the Al-Ahli strike.
Earlier, Maria Zakharova, an official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that Russia views the missile strike on the hospital in the Gaza Strip as a crime and an act of dehumanization.
Palestinian officials have accused Israel of carrying out the airstrike. The Israeli side, on the other hand, has accused the Palestinian “Islamic Jihad” (an organization banned in Russia) of the incident.
