IDF's Controversial Raid on Gaza Hospital

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have conducted a raid on the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, leading to significant controversy and international concern. The IDF claims the operation targeted Hamas operatives allegedly using the hospital as a cover, but denies setting the facility on fire or entering it. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the hospital is now non-operational with key departments destroyed, and expresses deep concern for the 60 health workers and 25 critical patients remaining inside. The Palestinian Health Ministry accuses Israeli forces of forcibly evacuating patients and staff, and setting parts of the hospital ablaze, claims which the IDF disputes by stating a small fire occurred in an empty building. The situation has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with many patients being transferred to other facilities like the Indonesian Hospital, which was also recently damaged in an Israeli raid. This event follows ongoing tensions and military actions in Gaza since October after a deadly assault by Hamas on southern Israel.
