Israeli military raids Gaza’s largest hospital — RT World News

The IDF launched a raid on Gaza's largest medical facility, Al-Shifa Hospital, claiming to have killed 90 Hamas activists and confiscated funds belonging to the group. But Hamas says all the victims were hospital patients.

Since Israel launched its massive military campaign in Gaza in response to the deadly incursion by Hamas on October 7, the Israeli army has carried out several attacks on the hospital. When Israel first raided the medical complex in November 2023, Israel claimed that Hamas militants were using Al-Shifa Hospital as a command center.

The Islamic Movement and hospital workers denied these accusations, while the operation sparked international criticism of Israel.

The Israeli army mentioned this in a message posted on its Telegram channel on Wednesday “As part of the searches at the hospital, the forces found an amount of 11 million shekels in dollars and Jordanian dinars ($3 million) that were intended for terrorism.”

Israeli forces also arrested more than 300 people, according to the statement, and some of them are believed to be as well “Top terrorists and those in key positions.” The Israeli army also claimed that its forces delivered food and water to Palestinian civilians.

In a separate post on X (formerly Twitter), the Israeli military claimed to have done so “About 90 terrorists were eliminated.” in the hospital, “While preventing harm to patients, staff and equipment.”

Israel launched the raid in the early hours of Monday, claiming that Hamas activists had taken refuge in the medical facility.

The head of the Hamas-controlled government media office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabta, noted that Israeli forces killed patients and civilians who were taking shelter in Al-Shifa Hospital.

“The Israeli occupation army practices lies and deception in spreading its story as part of justifying its ongoing crimes in violation of international law and international humanitarian law.” The official claimed that.

The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza wrote on Monday on its Telegram channel that Israeli military personnel were… “Firing bullets directly at the Specialized Surgery Building and targeting it with missiles.” The attack resulted in unspecified losses “The number of martyrs and wounded” By that point, he read the statement, adding that anyone “Anyone who tries to move will be targeted by sniper bullets and quadcopters.”
