Overview
- Israeli military operations targeted Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, reportedly killing at least 29 people, including four hospital staff, according to local sources.
- Witnesses and hospital officials allege that Israeli forces forced patients, staff, and displaced individuals into the hospital courtyard during the raid, with some staff permanently expelled.
- The World Health Organization confirmed the hospital was bombed without prior warning, leaving it minimally functional and exacerbating the ongoing health crisis in Gaza.
- Gaza’s health ministry has accused Israel of systematically targeting medical infrastructure, with only half of the region's healthcare facilities still operational and severely under-resourced.
- The Israeli military denies entering or striking the hospital, stating it conducted operations nearby, while human rights groups decry the attacks as violations of international law.
