The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the closure of “Kamal Adwan” Hospital is part of an Israeli strategy aimed at completely evacuating the northern Gaza Strip area of civilians.
The newspaper quoted the Israeli army as confirming that it would not allow Kamal Adwan Hospital to reopen. It also indicated that the army – during its operations in Jabalia – cut off communication between Gaza City and the northern region of the Gaza Strip.
The newspaper said that although the army denied its connection to what is known as the “generals’ plan,” the reality shows that parts of it have already been implemented.
The “generals’ plan” stipulates “forcibly evacuating the northern Gaza Strip of Palestinians, before besieging it and placing the militants there under the option of death or surrender,” and its author was the former head of the Israeli National Security Council, Giora Eiland.
The Israeli occupation army launched a military operation in the area of Kamal Adwan Hospital and its surroundings, as a result of which the medical staff, patients and wounded were forcibly evacuated.
More than 350 people were arrested inside it, including the medical staff, wounded and patients, and the hospital director, Hossam Abu Safiya, and large parts of its buildings were burned despite the presence of a number of medical staff and patients inside, according to a statement by the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
In a related context, Director of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom, said that hospitals in the Gaza Strip have once again become battlefields and the health system is under severe threat.
The Director of the World Health Organization confirmed that the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Hossam Abu Safiya, is in an unknown location and we demand his release. The UN official urged Israel to respect the health needs of patients it detained in Gaza.
The Israeli army claimed that “its forces killed about 20 militants” in its military operation in Kamal Adwan Hospital and its surroundings, noting that it “arrested 240 Palestinians, including 15 who participated in the October 7 attack.”
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory revealed horrific testimonies about field executions and ill-treatment during the Israeli attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Hamas movement called for sending international observers to hospitals in the Gaza Strip to refute the “lies of the Israeli occupation” and its claims about using them for military purposes. Hamas categorically denied any military presence of itself or other factions in Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.
Also in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian media sources reported on Monday that all members of the “Shabbat” family were killed in an Israeli bombing that targeted their home in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.
On Sunday, Israeli army artillery targeted various areas in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, and the Al-Saftawi and Al-Tawam areas, in conjunction with tightening the siege and preventing the entry of humanitarian and medical aid.
It was reported that 7 members of the Saeed Shabat family were killed and others were injured in the bombing.
Also in the northern Gaza Strip, Israeli artillery shelling and lighting bombs were reported northwest of Gaza City.
On the other hand, dozens of tents sank in the displacement camps in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip and Mawasi Khan Yunis in the south of the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian media circulated a photo of a mother sitting in front of the body of her child, who was killed in an Israeli artillery shelling on the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, yesterday, Sunday.
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation gunboats bombed the Al-Mawasi area, west of the city of Rafah.
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that the death toll from the Israeli bombing of the Strip since October 2023 had risen to 45,514 dead and 108,189 injured.
The Ministry’s daily report stated that Israeli forces committed 3 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, with 30 dead and 99 injured arriving at hospitals during the past 24 hours.
