Hamas says Israeli forces have entered a north Gaza hospital
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says Israeli forces have entered the Kamal Adwan hospital in the northern part of the Strip.
“Israeli occupation forces are storming Kamal Adwan hospital after besieging and bombing it for days,” ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra says in a statement.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
The hospital is situated near the Jabaliya neighborhood, which has been the scene of intense fighting in recent days.
Israel has gone into several hospitals in northern Gaza, finding widespread evidence that they were being used as bases and command centers by Hamas terrorists.
The IDF has also coordinated the evacuation of these hospitals.
