He Israeli Army has broken into the Al Shifa hospital, the most important in the Gaza Strip, for a “precise and selective operation against Hamas”, as reported by the Israeli Defense Forces.
Early this Wednesday, the Israeli Army reported that, “based on intelligence information and an operational need,” its troops began “a precise and selective operation against Hamas in a specific area of Shifa Hospital,” the objective of which is ” defeat Hamas and rescue hostages.”
Israel has entered the hospital because, they maintain, the Islamist group Hamas has its main command center there. According to what they explain, at the beginning of this assault they would have ended the life of some of its militants.
Without electricity, water or food and with 9,000 people inside
The truth is that this medical center has besieged by Israeli tanksfor several days and it was already working no electricity, no drinking water, no food.
Inside it houses around 9,000 people, including displaced people, medical personnel and patients. There are also around thirty premature babies whose lives are in danger.
A spokesperson for the Israeli Army says that troops have delivered incubators, baby food and medical supplies to the hospital. “Our medical teams and Arabic-speaking soldiers are on the ground to ensure these supplies reach those who need them,” the spokesperson said.
Furthermore, according to these same sources, the military would have facilitated “large-scale evacuations of the hospital and maintained regular dialogue with the hospital authorities.” “We call on all Hamas terrorists present at the hospital to surrender,” the spokesman said.
Hamas speaks of “war crime”
Hamas has accused Israel of committing “a war crime, a moral crime and a crime against humanity” for its troops’ raid inside the hospital.
The Islamist group has accused Israeli troops of “shoot inside” the hospital“despite knowing that there are some 9,000 medical personnel, injured, sick and displaced.”
They claim that in the days before, Israel “bombed more than five buildings within the complex and fired fire and projectiles at the wounded, the displaced and the medical teams present inside the complex.”
“We hold the occupation, the international community and the United States of America fully responsible for the safety of medical personnel, the wounded and the internally displaced,” Hamas underlines.
