'Israel' converted Al-Shifa Hospital into detention center: Euro-Med
Al Mayadeen English - November 15, 2023
------------------------------

The human rights group said that narratives released by IOF about any
findings in Al Shifa can't be considered credible, but are rather examples
of misinformation.

   after days of besieging it and preventing any personnel or basic supplies
   from entering or leaving on Wednesday, November 15, 2023. (*social media*)


Israeli occupation forces have converted al-Shifa Hospital
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-forces-raid-parts-of-al-shifa-medical-complex-in-gaz>
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 on Wednesday.

Furthermore, the IOF have cut off all communications in the hospital,
isolating the facility from the outside world.

The Israeli army has been attacking the al-Shifa Medical Complex since last
week
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--bombing-al-shifa-hospital-with-white-phosphorus--mo>
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
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/only-in-gaza--a-hospital-becomes-a-graveyard>
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 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 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
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/resistance-denies-us-claim-of-gaza-hospitals-used-as-operati>,
a claim that was proven false by Doron Kadosh, a military affairs
correspondent for Israeli Army radio, who confirmed the absence of captives
in the hospital.
