On the evening of October 7th 2023, an ambulance was allegedly damaged by an Israeli airstrike, killing two paramedics and injuring two others at the Indonesian hospital located in Jabalia, Gaza Strip.

Both paramedics were identified as 39-year-old Tariq Muhammad Ashour and 33-year-old Mahmoud Samih Abu Mashaykh. It has been reported that two other paramedics were injured in the strike.

A report from Palestinian Center for Human Rights Gaza provided similar information alongside Facebook posts from friends of the paramedics paying tribute to the victims.

The Indonesian hospital was also attacked earlier the same day, allegedly by Israeli forces.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces. Both names were matched with the Ministry of Health list of names released on October 26th.
