Do you believe Israel's justification for targeting the Gaza hospital is credible?
Israeli Airstrike on Gaza Hospital Kills Three Journalists Amid Escalating Conflict
On June 5, 2025, an Israeli airstrike hit the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, killing five people, including three Palestinian journalists. The Israel Defense Forces claimed the strike targeted an Islamic Jihad operative allegedly using the hospital courtyard as a command post. However, the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, which operates the hospital, strongly condemned the attack as an unprovoked assault on a medical facility. The deaths of journalists Suleiman Hajjaj, Ismail Badah, and Samir al-Rifai brought the total number of media workers killed in Gaza since October 2023 to over 220. The incident has provoked international outcry and renewed scrutiny over the legality and morality of strikes on civilian infrastructure. As the conflict continues, debates intensify around proportionality, the protection of journalists, and the role of medical neutrality in warfare. This poll seeks to gauge public opinion on the credibility of Israel's justification for this controversial strike.
