The Hamas-run health ministry claims that an Israeli raid inside Shifa Hospital in Gaza City “destroyed” a medical department and damaged two others inside Gaza’s largest hospital, where hundreds of patients, staff and displaced Palestinians were sheltering.

Israeli forces who went into Shifa Hospital yesterday “destroyed the radiology service, and bombed the burns and dialysis departments,” the Hamas-run health ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra claims to AFP.

Last night the IDF revealed weapons found in the MRI unit of the hospital, providing video footage of the discoveries. It ws not clear if that was the radiology department Al-Qudra was referring to.

The IDF said this morning that its troops are still carrying out “focused” searches of the hospital, and that no soldiers or hospital staff have been hurt so far.
