GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza said that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) threatened to bomb the remaining medical staff and displaced and wounded civilians inside Al-Shifa Hospital’s buildings if they did not leave the facility.
“We received reports from inside Al-Shifa Hospital saying that the occupation army threatened the medical crews and displaced citizens inside the facility’s building,” GMO said in a statement at dawn Saturday.
GMO strongly denounced the Israeli army for its persistence in committing what it described as its “systematic crime” and its “brutality” at Al-Shifa Hospital.
GMO held the US administration and the international community fully responsible for the ongoing Israeli aggression against Al-Shifa Hospital and called on the world to condemn Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza and work on stopping it.
Last Monday, the Israeli army started to bomb and massacre civilians and medical workers inside and in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
It has since ordered the evacuation of the facility to demolish it. However, it killed dozens of civilians and wounded people after they left the hospital and kidnaped dozens more, with media reports saying that Israeli soldiers shot dead civilians after kidnapping them from the hospital.
This is not the first time the Israeli army has attacked Al-Shifa Hospital. In November, the army stormed the medical complex, killing dozens and wounding dozens more. Israeli forces also kidnaped a number of doctors, medical workers, patients, and displaced persons, stole dead bodies from within the hospital grounds, and defiled the graves of those buried in its courtyards.
