The Israeli military says it is operating at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, amid “intelligence information on terrorists and terror infrastructure in the area.”
In the weeks before the operation, the IDF says it enabled the evacuation of patients and staff from the hospital, while also ensuring that the medical center’s emergency systems continued to function.
So far, some 45,000 Palestinian civilians have evacuated from Jabaliya amid the IDF’s operation in the area, according to the military’s latest estimates.
Hundreds of suspected terror operatives were detained, and hundreds of gunmen were also killed, the IDF adds.
