Media outlets in the Gaza Strip report that the emergency department at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital has been evacuated due to the advance of IDF forces in the area, amid the operation to seize control of Gaza City.

In addition, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry’s secretary-general, Yusuf Abu Rish, announces that the IDF struck the al-Hilu Hospital in Gaza City with two shells, and the internet connection there is shut down.

The hospital is private and relatively small, covering an area of about 600 square meters (656 square yards).

The IDF has not yet issued a response to the reports.
