the Red Crescent assures that two new hospitals are under siege by the Israeli army

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported, on Sunday March 24, two new hospitals under siege in the Gaza Strip by the Israeli army, which has been carrying out a similar operation for about a week in the main hospital center in the north of the Palestinian territory.

Since the start of the war against Hamas launched in October, Israeli forces have carried out several operations in and around hospitals, where they say they are looking for Palestinian fighters.

“All our teams are in extreme danger”

According to the Red Crescent, military vehicles arrived on Sunday morning near the Nasser and al-Amal hospitals, in the town of Khan Younes, in the south of the territory, against a backdrop of shooting and bombardment “intense”.

The relief organization added in a statement that one of its volunteers was killed at dawn by Israeli fire while he was in al-Amal. The army announces that its “Troops are operating throughout the al-Amal area, they are not currently operating in hospitals.” The Israeli army claims to have launched an operation in the al-Amal neighborhood “with a view to continuing to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and eliminate terrorist actors in the sector.”
