Israeli troops forced the evacuation of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza and many patients, some of them on foot, arrived at another hospital miles away in Gaza City, the territory's health ministry said on Tuesday.
The Indonesian Hospital is one of the Gaza Strip's few still partially functioning hospitals, on its northern edge, an area that has been under intense Israeli military pressure for nearly three months.
Israel says its operation around the three northern Gaza communities surrounding the hospital — Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoun and Jabalia — is targeting Hamas militants.
Palestinians accuse Israel of seeking to permanently depopulate northern Gaza to create a buffer zone, which Israel denies.
Munir Al-Bursh, director of the health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, said the Israeli army had ordered hospital officials to evacuate it on Monday, before storming it in the early hours of Tuesday and forcing those inside to leave.
He said two other medical facilities in northern Gaza, Al-Awda and Kamal Adwan Hospitals, were also subject to frequent assaults by Israeli troops operating in the area.
Israeli forces have operated in the vicinity of the Kamal Adwan hospital since Monday, medics said.

Trash
Right...
And, “An Israeli security official said the area was a Hamas stronghold.”... should have been at the beginning of the piece.
Or being used to store weapons
That head scarf is crafty way to get Lt. Cmdr. Poobah Mchmed to safety…..

Also, any time the remaining few hamassites want to surrender while losing this war they started, this can also end.
hamass’s FAULT!
Hospital Administrators in Gaza Force Patients to Serve as Human Shields
correct headline
I’m sure the article title is getting hardspunned and the other anti-semites here all excited
Agree 100%. Another reason to have voted for Trump. Let the Israelis do what they must do, give them diplomatic support to the hilt, and give them resources to do what they must, not sending money or equipment to Ukraine, but to Israel.
And stay out of Israel’s hair while they do what needs doing.

I would say if you can walk to another hospital you’re probably okay to walk home.
I don’t believe it.
Even the Nazis did not abuse the Red Cross, and respected Allied medics. (And the Allies treated German wounded, and Germans treated the Allies’ wounded.)
Bandage over head scarf? Are you kidding me? 😆
The current crew is just not cutting it.
Pretty inexcusable in these days of AI fake video.
They need youtube and tic tok vids of the evil, vicious Izzys unleashing ravenous T Rexes and Alien/Predator creatures on the poor, helpless Gazans
