At least 12 people have been killed in a new Israeli siege of the Indonesian hospital in Gaza, Hamas said
At least 12 people, including wounded and medical personnel, died today in direct attacks by the Israeli army on the Indonesian hospital near Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry reported on Monday. . “Israeli occupation forces are sending thousands of wounded, medical personnel and displaced people into the circle of death through direct and repeated attacks on the Indonesian hospital,” said ministry spokesman Ashraf al Qudra.
According to Health, this is “a new crime committed by the Israeli occupation of hospitals in the Gaza Strip”, and it was assured that the Indonesian was “attacked by tanks with artillery”, causing numerous injuries, including the head of the orthopedics department. Dr. Adnan al Bursh, with a serious head injury.
Israel has attacked several hospitals in the Gaza Strip in recent weeks, arguing that Hamas militants were hiding there. Most notorious, however, was last week’s siege of Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest in the Gaza Strip, located in the city from Gaza. Israel claims that Hamas had its main command center in the basement of this hospital, and yesterday presented evidence that supposedly supports this theory: It showed the discovery of 55 meters of a fortified underground tunnel; showed videos from the same day of the October 7 attack that showed several injured kidnapped people being taken to Shifa and claimed to have forensic evidence that captured Hamas soldier Noa Marciano was murdered in that hospital after he was injured in a bomb attack.
After nearly a week of siege and multiple incursions into some areas of the compound, Israel on Saturday ordered the evacuation of everyone at Shifa Hospital, about 3,000 people including medical personnel, the wounded and displaced people. Dozens of seriously injured people, including several premature babies, died as a result of the siege and the lack of medicine, water and fuel. In the evacuation, many moved to the south of the enclave, where Israeli attacks are less intense, but some, especially the seriously injured, unable to endure this displacement, went to the Indonesian hospital in Jabalia, north of the city of Gaza, attacked by Israel today .
