Israeli forces set fire on Friday to Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, which is the largest hospital in the area and serves over 400,000 citizens, according to local reports.
Witnesses confirmed that the Israeli military forcibly evacuated patients, the injured, medical staff, and journalists from the hospital. The hospital is the only operational medical facility in northern Gaza that provided critical medical services to the community before being set ablaze.
The fire destroyed key departments, including operating rooms, the laboratory, the emergency unit and the ambulance services according to the WAFA news agency.
Communication with those inside the hospital was completely cut off after Israeli forces surrounded the building.
Reports indicate that the army ordered the approximately 350 people inside, including 170 medical staff, to gather in the courtyard in preparation for a military raid. The fate of those individuals remains unknown.
