During the raid, the army expelled the Indonesian medical team, the only group performing surgeries at the hospital.
The team was removed via a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance, leaving the facility without critical medical capabilities.
A medical source revealed that most ambulances in the northern governorate are now non-operational due to repeated targeting and a severe fuel shortage, rendering even repaired vehicles nearly useless.

Ambulance Targeted
The Ministry of Health in Gaza published a video documenting the targeting of an ambulance in front of Kamal Adwan Hospital.
The footage captured Israeli gunfire striking the vehicle while its driver was inside, alongside the sounds of heavy shooting. The ministry described this as part of a systematic effort to undermine Gaza’s already fragile medical services.
This attack on the hospital came after a devastating night in the town of Beit Lahia, where intensive Israeli strikes on residential homes killed at least 30 Palestinians, according to a Hamas statement.
The Israeli forces simultaneously carried out widespread bombings across Gaza, committing at least four massacres in 24 hours. These attacks left 52 Palestinians dead and 142 others injured.

Other Strikes
Meanwhile, in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, airstrikes on homes killed 26 people and injured more than 60 others.
Other bombings targeted residential areas in Deir al-Balah and Rafah, where five Palestinians were killed and several others injured.
Israeli reconnaissance drones also struck a group of civilians searching for flour east of Rafah, killing three and wounding others. In a separate attack, two Palestinians were killed when a drone targeted a motorcycle east of Rafah.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation released 18 Palestinian detainees from Gaza, transferring them to Gaza European Hospital in Khan Yunis. Eyewitnesses reported that one of the released detainees had been injured in his leg.
According to accounts from former detainees, those imprisoned by the Israeli army were subjected to severe beatings, torture, and degrading treatment during their detention.

Ongoing Genocide
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza.
Currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for genocide against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 44,664 Palestinians have been killed, and 105,976 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7, 2023.
Moreover, at least 11,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Israel says that 1,200 soldiers and civilians were killed during the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation on October 7. Israeli media published reports suggesting that many Israelis were killed on that day by ‘friendly fire’.
More Massacres in Gaza – Civilian Death Toll Rises as Shelling Escalates
Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli war has resulted in an acute famine, mostly in northern Gaza, resulting in the death of many Palestinians, mostly children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
Later in the war, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians began moving from the south to central Gaza in a constant search for safety.
