Emergency workers who arrived at al-Shifa Hospital say it was badly bombarded. Israel’s military said it conducted “precise operational activity” against Hamas.
Israeli military forces withdrew from Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital on Monday, claiming the end of a two-week “precise operation” said to target militants using the complex as a base to control northern Gaza. Emergency workers described widespread devastation as they tried to recover bodies from the rubble. “The scene here is one of the ugliest we have seen since Oct. 7 until this moment,” said Mahmoud Bassal, Gaza’s Civil Defense spokesman, who was at the complex Monday.
“It was the base where the control of Hamas and Islamic Jihad from the north was conducted by both political rank commanders and operatives,” Hagari said, accusing militants of firing at Israeli forces from hospital buildings. He said that because militants had barricaded themselves inside, Israeli forces were forced to turn the complex into a “battle zone” that left some of the buildings “nonfunctional.
