It has been over a year since the Israel-Palestine conflict started. The war has claimed thousands of lives and more and more are being lost every day, with both parties refusing to back down. American tennis legend Martina Navratilova has been against Israel attacking Palestine from the very beginning.
While she has strongly condemned Israel’s moves, one claim from the people on social media sent her in disbelief. As people claimed that Israel was burning children alive in Gaza, Martina Navratilova could not believe it and gave a brutal reaction.
What the actual hell???

However, quite a few users denied that claim, saying it was fake. But no one could confirm the truth of the matter.
Israel’s air attack on hospital in Central Gaza leaves four dead
The claims of children being burned alive came to the fore following Israel’s air attack on a hospital complex in central Gaza where displaced Palestinians sought shelter. The attack in the early hours of Monday struck the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital complex in Deir al-Balah and caused a major fire from which people struggled to get out.
A survivor of the attack said that it was one of the “horrible and brutal nights” with burning pieces falling on tents wherein people took shelter.
What happened was that we woke up to smoke, flames, fire and burning pieces falling on the tents from every direction. The explosions terrified us in our tents and outside where we live behind Al-Aqsa Hospital. The fire trucks couldn’t get here. There were so many burned and charred bodies all over the place. The amount of fire and explosions was enormous. We witnessed one of the most horrible and brutal nights.
Om Ahmad Radi, a survivor at the scene, told Al Jazeera.
Hospital records showed that four people were killed and 40 wounded, The Associated Press news agency reported. 25 people were transferred to the Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza after suffering severe burns, according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Meanwhile, Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee said the air force carried out an attack on a “command and control center” used by the Palestinian armed group Hamas but did not provide any evidence to back his claims. The attack came after Hezbollah, another militant group in Lebanon, launched a drone attack on Israel.
This is not the first time Israel has targeted a medical facility. In recent months, it has been alleged that Israel has repeatedly struck crowded shelters and tent sites, on grounds of armed groups using them.
