Israeli forces have stormed al-Amal hospital south of the Gaza Strip, demanding that displaced people taking refuge there evacuate at gunpoint.
Israeli tanks on Tuesday fired near al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, which is also the headquarters of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
“Israeli tanks are currently stationed in al-Amal hospital front yard, firing live ammunition and smoke grenades at the displaced individuals and PRCS staff,” the group said in a social media post.
“We deeply worry for the safety of our teams, the wounded, the sick, and thousands of displaced people in the building. Fires have broken out in tents within the confines of the PRCS Headquarters.”
