GAZA CITY, Nov 15 — The Israeli army stormed Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City early on Wednesday.
The head of the burns department at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, Dr Ahmad Mikhallalati, stated that Israeli tanks and bulldozers are now inside the complex, reported Anadolu Agency, citing a report by Al Jazeera.
Earlier Wednesday, the Israeli army said it launched a military operation in “a certain part” of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
Its announcement came after the Ministry of Health in Gaza said the army officially informed the administration of the medical complex about its intention to storm the hospital on Tuesday night.
Palestinian Health Minister Mai Al-Kaila issued a statement, carried by the official WAFA news agency, holding the Israeli occupation responsible for the lives of medical staff, patients, and displaced people in the Al-Shifa complex.
Al-Kaila warned of catastrophic consequences for patients and medical staff if the occupation army proceeded with storming the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
