<p>Israeli occupation forces have <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-forces-raid-parts-of-al-shifa-medical-complex-in-gaz">converted al-Shifa Hospital</a>
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,<strong> Al Mayadeen</strong>'s correspondent reported on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the IOF have cut off all communications in the hospital, isolating the facility from the outside world.</p>
<p>The Israeli army has been attacking the al-Shifa Medical Complex <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--bombing-al-shifa-hospital-with-white-phosphorus--mo">since last week</a>
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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/only-in-gaza--a-hospital-becomes-a-graveyard">al-Shifa hospital</a>
is now the site of an ongoing war crime, the correspondent said, noting
that the medical complex is under complete siege of Israeli tanks.</p>

<h2>Al-Shifa Hospital: A Center for Detention and Abuse</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>The report also addresses the spread of false claims by the Israeli forces during their raid on the hospital.</p>
<p>Israelis alleged that Israeli captives were held in the hospital <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/resistance-denies-us-claim-of-gaza-hospitals-used-as-operati">by the Resistance</a>,
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.</p>
