According to the Gaza Ministry of Health under the extremist organization Hamas, dozens of dead have been found in the hospital area.
The health ministry in Gaza, under Hamas, says that Israeli soldiers burned the hospital buildings before leaving.
According to an AFP reporter at the scene, Israeli military vehicles and tanks had withdrawn from the vicinity of the besieged hospital shortly before the announcement that the bodies had been found. The Ministry of Health also reported on the withdrawal of Israeli soldiers.
According to the ministry, the Israeli soldiers burned the hospital buildings before leaving, which is why the hospital is no longer usable.
The extent of the damage in the hospital area and inside the buildings is very large, said the Ministry of Health’s press release.
According to the local doctor, the bodies of at least 20 people have been found in the area.
The Israeli armed forces confirm that they have withdrawn from the al-Shifa hospital area. According to Israel, the armed forces completed their mission.
Hundreds sought shelter at the hospital
Since Israel started its war in Gaza, it has already struck the al-Shifa hospital area twice. Now the operation lasted about two weeks. Earlier, Israeli soldiers attacked the hospital area in November.
Israel launched its military operation in the hospital area because it has claimed that Hamas fighters use the hospital area as a base. According to Israel, it has killed 200 Hamas fighters in or near the hospital area.
Hamas has denied claims of using the hospital area as a base.
Hundreds of people have sought shelter in the hospital area since Israel’s hostilities began in October. According to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health, more than 32,700 people, most of them women and children, have died in the Israeli attacks.
According to Israel, about 1,160 people died in the attack on Israel by the extremist organization Hamas at the beginning of October, and Hamas took about 250 hostages. Israel believes about 130 hostages are still in Gaza.
Dozens dead in new attacks
Elsewhere in the Gaza Strip, Israel continued its attacks the night before Monday and early in the morning. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, at least 60 people have been killed in recent attacks.
Israel, on the other hand, said on Monday morning that 600 Israeli soldiers have died in the fighting since the beginning of October.
In addition, the Israeli police say they arrested the sister of the leader of the extremist organization Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, as part of the terrorism investigation. According to the police, the Israeli security service Shin Bet is involved in the investigation.
Director General of the World Health Organization WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reported on Sunday on the message service X that four people were killed and nearly twenty wounded in an Israeli airstrike on al-Aqsa hospital in Gaza. According to him, the attack was witnessed by the WHO team, which was there to map the needs and collect emergency cabinets for export to Northern Gaza.
The Israeli army confirmed the attack on the messaging service X. According to it, the attack targeted the command center of the Islamic Jihad organization, which it says operates in the area of the hospital. According to the Israeli Armed Forces, the hospital was not damaged.
