Israel’s military claims it has raided the main hospital in southern Gaza and detained dozens of suspects. At that time, hospital staff and patients were forced to flee in the face of gunfire.
Israel says it conducted a specific and limited operation targeting Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. They had intelligence that Hamas was holding hostages there.
However, Hamas denied this allegation as false.

The director of the hospital said that the conditions there are catastrophic and very dangerous.
The chief spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said that among those detained was one who participated in a Hamas attack inside Israel on October 7. He is a Hamas ambulance driver who drove a hostage to Gaza and a member of the armed group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
However, Israeli special forces raided the hospital and found no evidence of hostages and the search is still ongoing.
Some of the images released show medical workers carrying patients on stretchers through a dusty corridor.
A bedridden patient is seen being evacuated through a corridor where the roof has collapsed.
Another video footage shows people piling furniture and other items in front of a door. Another describes in English that Israeli forces are moving in.
A nurse inside the hospital said that many dogs were released inside the hospital during the operation.
Director of the hospital, Nahid Abu-Teima, said that violent shelling and deadly explosions took place within sight of the hospital building for several hours.
He said patients who were in the hospital were lined up in wards, many of them with serious injuries.
He called on the United Nations and the Red Cross to protect patients and hospital staff.
Nasser Hospital is one of a handful of hospitals operating in Gaza. It has become the center of fighting between Israeli security forces and Hamas over the past few days.
The IDF launched the operation on Thursday, a day after thousands of displaced people sheltering in hospital areas were ordered to leave.
On the seventh of October, Israel launched a defense operation after Hamas fighters crossed the Israeli border and launched an attack. According to the Hamas-run Health Ministry, 28,000 people, mostly women and children, have been killed so far in Israel’s attacks.
