9:36Now PlayingAlWafa Hospital, the only rehabilitation hospital in Gaza and the West Bank, was shelled by Israel on Thursday. At the time of the attack, the hospital was filled with patients who were paralyzed, unconscious and unable to move. We speak with the hospital's executive director, Basman Alashi, who says the hospital received a warning call ahead of the assault. "I don't understand why they hit us," Alashi says. "We've been in this place since 1996, we are known to the Israeli government." Alashi says no one was injured but the building was heavily damaged.
