– At this moment, the occupation forces continue to violently bombard and destroy the Kamal Adwan hospital, attacking all parts of the hospital, reported the Gaza Ministry of Health on Monday afternoon.
The hospital is located in the town of Beit Lahiya, where residential areas have recently been exposed to several very bloody Israeli attacks with many civilians killed and wounded, according to both Palestinian sources and the UN.
Hospital director Hossam Abu Safieh describes the situation at the hospital as catastrophic.
– Unable to leave
– Several of our employees have been injured and we are unable to leave the hospital. We do not understand the meaning of this bombing which targets the hospital, he says.
According to Safieh, the hospital was not contacted by the military before the attack began. According to AFP, the Israeli military has said that it is checking the messages. But in another statement on Monday, it is said that the soldiers continue to operate against what is referred to as “terrorist infrastructure” in the northern and central part of Gaza.
In late October, Israeli soldiers stormed the hospital, killing two children, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.

Apprehension of healthcare personnel
The Palestinian authorities have also reported that hundreds of medical personnel and some displaced Palestinians were arrested. Later, MSF confirmed that one of their doctors was among those arrested.
Israel launched an offensive against northern Gaza about a month ago. They then asked the entire civilian population to leave the area, but many stayed because they feared Israel would reoccupy the area and not allow them to return.
Israel has announced that the goal is to destroy Hamas and ensure that the group is no longer able to attack Israel.
