Gaza, 22 Ramadan 1435/20 July, 2014 (MINA) – All of victims who are hospitalized in the Al-Nasr, Khan Younis southern Gaza Strip are civilians, said the head of Al-Nasr Hospital, Dr. Atef Hout told Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA).

According to Hout, all patients in its hospital with maksimum capacity of 250 beds mostly women and children. “A total patients now more than 300 people,” he said.

Hout denied the Israeli claim that they attacked the place where the Al-Qassam  fighters hideouts and weapons caches.

“No evidence which proves the Israel’s claims. They deliberately attacked civilians to create fear and terror for Gazan people, so that they make an exodus out of the country,” he said.
