The government Media Office in Gaza announced that more than 30 unarmed
Palestinians were killed by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in Al-Shifa
Hospital

as they opened fire on families who tried to leave the hospital.

The Office stressed that the occupation's aggression and assault on
Al-Shifa Medical Complex, its departments, and everyone in it, including
patients, displaced Palestinians, and the medical staff, amounts to yet
another war crime committed by the Israeli occupation.

It is also important to underline that while Al-Shifa was getting invaded,
the occupation also cut off all communications from the hospital. The
communication blackout started at 1:00 pm today, on Wednesday, according to
what was reported by *Al Mayadeen*’s correspondent.

The IOF have converted Al-Shifa Hospital into a military barracks,
handcuffing a large number of its attending doctors and indiscriminately
opening fire throughout the health facility as they storm patient wards
without constraints *Al Mayadeen*'s correspondent reported earlier in the
day.

The Israeli army has been attacking Al-Shifa Medical Complex since last
week as part of their attempt to destroy Gaza's health sector and damage
the morale of civilians and Resistance fighters, who have been relentlessly
confronting invading forces.

Our correspondent further noted that the Israeli forces stormed the
dialysis department, the intensive care unit, and other specialized
sections, as well as other critical parts of the hospital.

Al-Shifa hospital is now the site of an ongoing war crime, the
correspondent said, noting that the medical complex is under complete siege
of Israeli tanks.
Al-Shifa Hospital: A Center for Detention and Abuse

In a report, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has issued
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--converted-al-shifa-hospital-into-detention-center>
a stern warning against "Israel's" actions at the medical complex. The
organization said the occupation has converted the complex's facilities
into a detention center for patients, displaced individuals, and medical
personnel.

The Human Rights Monitor vehemently denounced the military-backed incursion
by Israeli forces into Al-Shifa, sounding alarms about potential deaths and
executions that might be perpetrated by Israeli forces at the site.

Furthermore, the report highlighted the occupation forces' efforts to
muzzle Ministry of Health officials, barring them from speaking to the
media, also noting "Israel's" refusal to allow inspections by any
third-party international bodies, including UN organizations, effectively
monopolizing the control over information dissemination. This move casts
doubt on the validity of any future narratives released by Israel regarding
the situation.

The report also addresses the spread of false claims by the Israeli forces
during their raid on the hospital.

Israelis alleged that Israeli captives were held in the hospital by the
Resistance, a claim that was proven false by Doron Kadosh, a military
affairs correspondent for Israeli Army radio, who confirmed that there are
no captives in the hospital.
