The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) announced today that it has completed its military operations at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City - which has been ongoing since March 18.

 

"Troops have completed precise operational activity in the area of the Shifa Hospital and

exited the area of the hospital," the IOF said in a statement.

 

The IOF further claimed that its forces captured around 900 suspects, with over 500 of them classified to be “terrorists,” along with killing 200 Palestinian resistance members.

 

Over the past two weeks, the IOF has been carrying out what it labeled as "precise operational activity" at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

 

Gaza’s Health Ministry said that the “scale of the destruction inside the complex and the buildings around it is very large” after heavy “Israeli” airstrikes and tank fire targeted the medical facility.

 

"Dozens of bodies, some of them decomposed, have been recovered from in and around the

Al-Shifa medical complex," the ministry said, adding that the hospital was now "completely

out of service".

 

Over 20 of the bodies recovered have been crushed by the retreating IOF vehicles.
