Israeli forces leave a trail of destruction after dayslong siege at one of Gaza's last hospitals
Israeli forces withdrew from northern Gaza's Kamal Adwan hospital on Saturday, leaving a trail of destruction inside one the area's last medical lifelines as it continues to assault Beit Lahia.
Israeli forces withdrew from one of northern Gaza’s last functioning medical facilities, leaving a trail of destruction after a dayslong siege and overnight airstrikes that killed dozens in the city of Beit Lahia.
Troops stormed the hospital last week as the Israel Defense Forces continued their deadly offensive in the north, labeled one of the conflict’s “darkest moments” by the United Nations’ human rights chief, Volker Türk.
Dr. Muhammad Al-Mughair, head of documentation for the Civil Defense in Gaza, told NBC News on Sunday that there have been approximately 1,000 people have been killed and 670 others missing since operations began in northern Gaza.
Gaza’s health ministry said hundreds of patients, medical staff and displaced Palestinians who had sought shelter at Kamal Adwan Hospital had been detained by Israeli forces, and that only three doctors were working at the hospital on Saturday.
The IDF said in a statement Monday that it had “apprehended approximately 100 terrorists” inside the hospital.
