More on the attack on Sabra in Gaza City.
Mahmoud Basal, the spokesman for Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza, says Israeli forces deliberately targeted rescue workers as they searched for survivors following the attack
One Civil Defence worker was killed and three others were wounded, he said.
Basal identified the slain medic as Ali Muhammad Mustafa Omar.
His killing takes the total death toll among civil defence workers to 87, the spokesman said.
“This is the 18th time that Israeli occupation forces have targeted our crews during their missions to save lives,” Basal added. “With these targeted attacks, the occupation is seeking to prevent the rescue of people trapped under the rubble.”
The Palestine Information Centre posted footage of the aftermath of the attack on X, showing wounded rescuers at the site.
