The Palestinian Red Crescent said, “At dawn on Thursday, Israeli occupation vehicles stormed the courtyards of Al-Amal Hospital for the third time, took up positions there, and opened heavy fire in the vicinity of the hospital and on its buildings, before withdrawing later.”

It explained that the hospital dealt with 12 dead yesterday, including an employee and a volunteer in the association, in addition to 6 injuries.

It pointed out that Israeli forces opened fire on the hospital and its buildings, leading to bullets penetrating five vehicles, including three ambulances.

The Israeli forces continue to target and besiege Al-Amal Hospital, affiliated with the Red Crescent Society, for the eleventh day in a row, shooting bullets at anyone who moves in its vicinity.

According to the Red Crescent, Israel has tightened its siege on Nasser Medical Complex for the second week, placing 100 medical staff and 7,000 displaced people, the majority of whom are children and women, in constant terror and anxiety.

Since last Monday, the Israeli army has launched a series of intense air and artillery raids on Khan Yunis, and in the vicinity of the hospitals located there, amid ground advances by its vehicles in the southern and western areas of the city, which prompted thousands of Palestinians to flee.

It is noteworthy that 14 hospitals out of 36 in Gaza are partially operating, including nine hospitals in the south and six in the north.

The Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression against the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since the seventh of last October, resulting in the death of more than 26,900, in addition to about 66,000 wounded, and thousands of missing people.
