Director of Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital killed in Israeli strike
Israeli military says it is reviewing incident after a strike killed Dr Marwan Al-Sultan and his family in their home
Palestinian officials and witnesses said on Wednesday that an Israeli strike killed the director of the Indonesian Hospital, a key clinic in the north of war-ravaged Gaza.
Doctor Marwan Al-Sultan was killed in his flat in Gaza City along with his wife, daughters and son-in-law, a relative who said he found them, Ahmed al-Sultan, said.
Gaza’s civil defence agency said seven people were killed in the strike early Wednesday afternoon, including Sultan, his wife and at least three of his children.
The doctor’s body was taken to the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where mourners gathered around it.
“His face was unrecognisable, we could barely identify him,” the director of that facility, Mohammad Abu Salmiya, said.
Surviving daughter Lubna Sultan paid tribute too her father at the hospital.
