Israel kills at least four in attack on Gaza hospital courtyard
Palestinians react to a fire after an Israeli strike hit a tent area in the courtyard of Al Aqsa Martyrs hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza Strip, October 14, 2024

ISRAELI forces killed at least four people today when they targeted a hospital courtyard in the Gaza Strip.

The attack set off a firestorm that swept through a tent camp for people displaced by the war, leaving dozens with severe burns, according to Palestinian medics.

The Israeli military once again claimed it was targeting Palestinian fighters, without providing evidence. In recent months Israeli forces have repeatedly struck crowded shelters in schools and tent camps, alleging that Hamas fighters were using them as staging grounds for attacks.

While much attention is focused on Israel’s aggression, we cannot ignore the conflicts in Africa, stoked by Western imperialism and greed for natural resources, if we’re to understand the full picture of geopolitics today, argues ROGER McKENZIE
