The Israeli army began an assault on the largest hospital complex in the Gaza Strip, Al-Shifa, which has been under blockade for several days. The situation is complicated by the presence of patients, doctors and refugees in the hospital. This was reported by the Lebanese TV channel Al Mayadeen.
The Israeli military surrounded the hospital a few days ago; the IDF command claims that the main command post of the Hamas movement is allegedly located underneath it. All these days the fighting took place around the hospital complex; now the Israelis launched an assault, coming from the western wing. It is reported that intense gunfire can be heard inside the hospital building. Before this, the Israeli Defense Forces command officially announced that they would storm the hospital, despite the presence of about 700 patients, medical personnel and approximately 2-3 thousand refugees in it.
The Israeli army has officially notified medical personnel of its intention to storm the al-Shifa complex in the coming minutes.
- said a correspondent of one of the Arabic TV channels located on the territory of the hospital.
In turn, IDF representatives said that the troops storming the hospital included doctors who, if necessary, would provide assistance to civilians.
Earlier, the Pentagon said that according to American intelligence, Hamas is using medical facilities in the Gaza Strip for military purposes. In response, a representative of the movement called this statement a “green light” for Israel to carry out even more brutal killings of civilians in the Gaza Strip.
