Less than an hour earlier, around 1 a.m. local time on Wednesday, a Gaza Ministry of Health spokesman said Israel had told officials in the enclave that storms the Shifa hospital complex “in the next few minutes.”
Dr. Munir al-Bursh, Director General of the Gaza Ministry of Health, told the TV channel about this. Al Jazeera What Israeli forces attacked the western part from Al Shafiya Hospital.
“There are big explosions and dust has entered the areas where we are located. We believe that there was explosion inside a hospital“, he asserted.
Al-Shifa’s fate has become the focus of international attention due to deteriorating conditions in the center in recent days, as well as global calls for Israel to adhere to a humanitarian ceasefire after five weeks of Israeli bombing of Gaza.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said: “Based on intelligence information and operational necessity, the Israel Defense Forces is conducting a precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specific area of Shifa Hospital.”
The military added: “The IDF includes medical teams and Arabic speakers who have received special training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment with the intention of not causing any harm to the civilian population.”
Israel said Hamas has a command center near al-Shifa and uses the hospital and tunnels underneath it to conceal military operations and hold hostages.
Hamas denies this and has called on Israel to verify its claims.
Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas in retaliation for the militants’ cross-border attack on Israel on October 7.
Israel said Hamas killed 1,200 people in the attack and took more than 240 hostages.
In the West Bank, a separate Palestinian enclave not controlled by Hamas, Palestinian Authority Health Minister Mai Alkaila said that Israel is “committing a new crime against humanity, medical personnel and patients by besiegingAl Shifa.
“We hold the occupying forces fully responsible for the lives of medical personnel, patients and displaced people in Al-Shifa,” Alkaila said in a statement.

In the middle shortages of fuel, water and supplies, 40 patients are said to have died Last few days.
From the neonatal department there is 36 babies, three of whom died. Due to the lack of fuel for the generators powering the incubators, the babies were kept as warm as possible by lining them up in rows of eight by eight.
