Israeli army claims militants are hiding in hospital in Gaza.
Rafah: Israeli security forces once again targeted the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip on Monday morning. Israeli forces said that Hamas extremists have again made the hospital their base and opened fire from inside the complex. Palestinian officials say that thousands of people have taken shelter in the hospital. Let us tell you that the Israeli army had attacked Shifa Hospital in November last year. The army had claimed that Hamas had set up a command center inside and beneath the hospital. The army also discovered a tunnel leading to some underground rooms and recovered weapons from inside the hospital. However, due to the lack of evidence against the claims, critics accused the army of putting the lives of civilians in danger.
What did the people staying in the hospital say?
People staying in the hospital said that Israeli forces armed with tanks and heavy weapons surrounded the hospital premises and the army opened fire on the people inside the hospital. He said the army targeted several buildings and detained dozens of people. “We are trapped inside,” said Abdel-Hadi Said, who has been sheltering in place in the hospital for more than three months. They (Israeli forces) open fire on everything that moves. Doctors and ambulances can’t even move.
What did Gaza’s health ministry say?
Gaza’s health ministry said Israeli forces were attacking a building used for special surgeries with guns and missiles. A fire broke out at the hospital gate. The ministry said that about 30 thousand people are taking shelter in the hospital, including patients, medical staff and people who have fled their homes in search of safety.
Israeli army launched a campaign
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, Israel’s chief military spokesman, said the army had launched an operation in parts of the hospital. He said that Hamas extremists have once again gathered and are directing attacks from the compound. The army released an aerial video showing militants firing at Israeli forces from inside the hospital. The Israeli military said its forces had detained about 80 people.
