Israeli forces sets fire to Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital

Israeli army burns and destroys Kamal Adwan Hospital, putting it out of service. Hospital staff and the injured were taken to an unknown location.

Report says that the Israeli army sent “booby-trapped robots” to bomb the area.

“The [Israeli] occupation army carried out a barbaric raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital and blew up large parts of the building … complete disconnection from Kamal Adwan Hospital administration and staff for many hours,”says the local news agency.

The Israeli army issued a statement confirming it launched a raid on the Kamal Adwan Hospital. It claimed that Hamas uses the hospital as a command center without providing any evidence.

The spokesperson for the World Health Organization expressed concern about the deteriorating health situation in Gaza, after Israeli troops stormed the hospital.

The United Nations and other organizations have repeatedly decried the worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza, particularly in the north, since Israel began its latest military offensive in early October.

Kamal Adwan hospital has been under a tight siege by the Israeli military. It has been attacking the facility with bombs and drones for weeks.
