In a significant escalation of tensions, Israeli forces conducted a raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza on Friday morning. This operation followed a series of airstrikes on a nearby facility, which resulted in the tragic loss of 53 lives, including several medical personnel.
Earlier, the military compelled numerous patients, both sick and injured, to evacuate Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Reports indicate that approximately 75 patients have gathered in the facility’s courtyard, as the establishment has been subjected to relentless attacks for several weeks.
In the early hours of Friday, Israeli military operations escalated around Kamal Adwan Hospital, with tank units and quadcopter-mounted machine guns advancing further into the territory.
According to the report, explosive devices that had been planted near the hospital were detonated at both the northern gate and the back entrance, resulting in substantial damage and sparking fires in several nearby buildings.
At around 7:15 a.m. local time (05:15 GMT), Israeli authorities utilized loudspeaker systems to order the hospital director, along with injured individuals and patients, to vacate the facility within a 15-minute timeframe.
The death toll resulting from Thursday’s attacks on the premises and an adjacent building has risen to 53, according to Hussam Abu Safiyyah, the hospital’s director, who confirmed that five of the victims were staff members.
