Israel raids Al-Shifa Hospital without evidence of Hamas’ presence
Israeli Occupation Forces has raided the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza claiming they’re carrying out an operation against Hamas while failing to provide any proof of the group’s presence at the Medical Complex.
Israel may have been encouraged to move on the Hospital after U.S. National Security spokesman official John Kirby, also without evidence, said that the United States had “evidence” that Hamas was using medical facilities in Gaza, including Al-Shifa as military installations.
Health workers inside Al-Shifa have repeatedly mentioned now and in the past that the complex has never been used by Hamas further accusing the IOF of trying to justify their attacks on civilian infrastructure within Gaza.

Youssef Abu Rish continues by saying that they’ve essentially lost count of the number of dead while bodies have begun to pile up in the courtyard of the Hospital which has completely run out of food, water, and electricity.

Currently there are roughly 12,000 civilians taking refuge inside the hospitals, most of which are women and children.
