Israel said its large-scale operation was continuing for a fifth day.
Israel said Friday its raid on Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital was continuing for a fifth day, with the large-scale military operation provoking alarm among global health officials as well as residents in the enclave’s devastated north, who were hoping for a Ramadan cease-fire but were instead sheltering from the latest violence.
“Accessing al-Shifa is now impossible, and there are reports of health workers being arrested and detained,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the World Health Organization, wrote on X on Thursday. The situation, he wrote, “could impact the hospital’s ability to function, even minimally, and deprive people of critical, lifesaving care.”
The Israeli military, which has said it was “preventing harm to civilians, patients” and medical teams, said Friday that over the “past days, the forces eliminated more than 150 terrorists in the area of the hospital, apprehended hundreds of suspects and located weapons and terror infrastructure.” Hamas in recent days has posted videos from the area, showing militants attacking Israeli troops.
Mahmoud Bassel, a spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defense, said in a message that at least seven houses around al-Shifa had been targeted, killing civilians. After the detentions and evacuations of hundreds of patients, 150 to 200 patients who could not walk remained with a handful of doctors, Jedbah said. At least nine patients — including two in the intensive care unit — died from lack of treatment, he said. Jedbah added that he did not know what happened to colleagues and others who were detained.
