Indonesia's foreign ministry said on Tuesday that the purpose of the Indonesia Hospital in Gaza was to "fully" serve Palestinians in response to an accusation by the Israeli military that it has been used by Hamas to launch attacks.
The IDF has said that Hamas "systematically exploits hospitals as part of its war machine" as it exposed a network of tunnels, command centers and rocket launchers beneath and adjacent to hospitals in northern Gaza.
Hamas denies doing so and has accused Israel of spreading lies.
"Indonesia Hospital in Gaza is a facility built by Indonesians fully for humanitarian purposes and to serve the medical needs of Palestinians in Gaza," the ministry said in a statement, adding the hospital is run by Palestinian authorities, helped by a few Indonesian volunteers.
