In Israeli air strike destroyed Al-AhliThe air strike on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital did occur and resulted in the destruction of key medical departments.

CLAIM:
An Israeli air strike destroyed Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital — the last functioning hospital in Gaza City — including its intensive care and surgery departments.

FACT:
The claim is true but must be understood in the context of an ongoing war zone. Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City was struck by an Israeli air strike on April 2025. Witnesses and the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem confirmed that the intensive care and surgical departments were destroyed. The hospital was the only partially functioning medical facility in Gaza City following widespread destruction of other hospitals in the north.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) admitted to targeting the hospital, claiming it was being used as a “command and control center” by Hamas. The IDF also stated it issued advanced warnings, used precision munitions, and conducted aerial surveillance to minimize civilian harm.

While Gaza’s civil emergency service reported no direct casualties from the strike, the Episcopal Diocese said that a child with a head injury died during a rushed evacuation. Social media footage showed patients being evacuated while the building burned.

EVIDENCE:

  • The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem confirmed that the intensive care and surgery units were destroyed and noted one child’s death during evacuation.
  • IDF’s official statement acknowledged the strike and its justification, citing Hamas’ use of the hospital.
  • Social media footage showed flames, destruction, and people — including patients in beds — fleeing the site.
  • A local journalist reported the IDF gave doctors at the hospital a 20-minute warning call to evacuate.
  • Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry stated that the hospital was “completely destroyed,” leading to forced displacement of staff and patients.

CONCLUSION:
The air strike on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital did occur and resulted in the destruction of key medical departments. The IDF has justified the strike based on alleged Hamas activity, while local and international sources have raised humanitarian concerns. The hospital was the last functioning medical facility in Gaza City, and its destruction further worsens the already dire healthcare crisis in the region. The claim is accurate, though perspectives on its justification differ sharply.
