Palestinian medics say Israel bombing area around Gaza hospital

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society says the Israeli military has repeatedly bombed around its hospital in northern Gaza, causing damage and putting civilians at risk.

“The Israeli army deliberately continues to launch rockets directly near Al-Quds hospital with the aim of forcing medical staff, displaced individuals and patients to evacuate the hospital,” the medical organization says in a statement.

“This has caused significant damage to hospital departments and exposed residents and patients to suffocation,” the statement adds.

Israel has called on all non-combatants in northern Gaza to move south as it intensifies operations against Hamas terrorists in the area.

It has also accused Hamas of using numerous Gaza hospitals as bases of operation, using them as human shields.
