Israeli troops raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, forcing staff and patients to evacuate. The Health Ministry alleges that troops forced medical personnel and patients to assemble in the hospital yard, remove their clothes, and were led out, some to unknown locations. The ministry also claims that troops set fires in several parts of the hospital, including the lab and surgery department. Israel's military, meanwhile, stated it was conducting operations against Hamas infrastructure and fighters in the area.

Israel’s military said it was conducting operations against Hamas infrastructure and fighters in the area of the hospital, without providing details. It repeated claims that Hamas fighters were operating inside Kamal Adwan , though it provided no evidence.The Health Ministry said troops forced medical personnel and patients to assemble in the hospital yard and remove their clothes amid the winter temperatures.
In raids, Israeli troops frequently carry out mass detentions, stripping men down to their underwear for questioning in what the military says is a security measure as they search for Hamas fighters. Although the AP doesn’t have access to Kamal Adwan, armed Hamas security men in civilian clothes have been seen in other hospitals in Gaza, controlling access to certain areas or the distribution of supplies.
The Israeli rights groups Physicians for Human Rights-Israel earlier this week petitioned Israel’s High Court of Justice seeking a halt to military attacks on Kamal Adwan. It warned that forcibly evacuating the hospital would “abandon thousands of residents in northern Gaza.” Before the latest deaths Thursday, the group documented five other staffers killed by Israeli fire since October.
