Four
doctors were killed at Kamal Adwan Hospital in besieged northern Gaza on
Friday, after Israeli forces stormed the compound, killing and injuring dozens
of people in surrounding areas, eyewitnesses told CNN.
Israeli
troops also forced health care workers and patients to leave the facility, and
destroyed critical medical supplies, according to a statement by Dr Hussam Abu
Saifya, the hospital director.
In the
early hours of Friday, the Israeli military sent two plain clothed messengers
into the hospital, who told people over a megaphone to evacuate, Abu Saifya
added. The military detained a “large number” of young men in the two-hour
raid, including health workers and Palestinians who had sought refuge, added
Abu Saifya.
Israeli
quadcopters unleashed a blaze of “intense and direct fire” as military vehicles
encircled the facility, Abu Saifya recalled, before corralling patients,
displaced people and health workers in the courtyard and forcibly taking them
to a checkpoint further south, towards Gaza City.
“Initially,
there was a series of airstrikes on the northern and western sides of the
hospital, accompanied by intense and direct fire,” Abu Saifya said in a
statement on Friday. “They approached me and ordered me to evacuate all
patients, displaced persons, and medical staff, gathering everyone in the
hospital’s courtyard and forcibly taking them to the checkpoint.
“In the
morning, we were shocked to see hundreds of bodies and wounded individuals in
the streets surrounding the hospital,” the doctor added. “The situation is
catastrophic in northern Gaza, particularly in the vicinity of Kamal Adwan
Hospital.”
Members
of an Indonesian medical delegation – the only team performing surgery at Kamal
Adwan – were among those forced to leave and not allowed to return, according
to Abu Saifya.
Hours
later, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) withdrew from one of the last remaining
functioning facilities in northern Gaza. Hospital staffers and patients left
the facility to find hundreds of bodies and wounded people lining surrounding
streets, Abu Saifya added.
A photo
posted by Abu Saifya on social media showed at least 17 shrouded bodies laying
on the hospital courtyard. Another 20 people were left injured and “in need of
urgent care,” he said. The Israeli military severely damaged oxygen generators
overnight, Abu Saifya told CNN, saying there are now just two “inexperienced”
surgeons available to administer life-saving care at the hospital.
The
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) denied striking or operating within Kamal Adwan
Hospital in a statement to CNN, instead saying that its forces fought “against
terror infrastructure and terrorists” in the nearby Jabalya area.
“IDF
troops continue to operate against terror infrastructure and terrorists in the
Jabaliya area, including adjacent to the Kamal Adwan Hospital,” it said.
“Simultaneously, in recent weeks, coordinated efforts with international
organizations have been underway in order to transfer patients, companions, and
medical staff to other hospitals which are operating in the Gaza Strip.”
The
statement added that the IDF is in “continuous contact” with Kamal Adwan to
deliver supplies and equipment. According to COGAT, the Israeli agency that
manages policy for the Palestinian territories and the flow of aid into the
strip, 161 aid trucks entered Gaza on December 4.
There
was no official evacuation order ahead of the raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital,
according to a United Nations official. “People started to climb
the wall to escape, and this panic attracted IDF fire,” the UN health’s agency
representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Rik Peeperkorn, said on
Friday.

Human
rights agencies have repeatedly accused Israel of subjecting residents in parts
of northern Gaza to relocation or starvation.
Since October, 2023, 58% of 273 missions led by the UN’s World Health
Organization were denied, canceled or impeded, the agency said on Friday.
‘All forms of killing and violence’
The
attack on Friday was the second such raid by the Israeli military since forces
sprung an incursion on three cities in northern Gaza on October 5, razing
entire streets, spawning severe hunger and leaving emergency crews unable to
rescue people wounded by the onslaught.
The
Israeli military has said the assault is targeting Hamas’ renewed presence
there. More than 3,700 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza’s
Government Media Office (GMO). Another 10,000 people have been injured, the GMO
said on Monday.
At least
30 people were killed by Israeli bombing on houses around Kamal Adwan
overnight, according to Dr Munir Al Bursh, the director general of the Ministry
of Health in Gaza.
CNN
footage from Kamal Adwan Hospital on Friday shows a huge orange blaze lighting
a pile of rubble in the courtyard. Inside the facility, medical workers nursed
injured Palestinians, including young children. Many of those moaned from the
pain of open wounds, while others lay motionless on the floor.
In
another clip filmed outside the hospital, dozens of men could be seen looking
around helplessly, and trying to lift wounded people heaped under thick layers
of debris.

On
Thursday, an Israeli drone struck and killed a 16-year-old boy in a separate
attack as he was entering the hospital’s X-ray department in a wheelchair, Abu
Saifya told CNN. The teenager, Mahmoud Abu Al-Eish had been wheeled to the
facility by his sister, who is a nurse at the hospital, Abu Saifya said. Another
man in his thirties was also killed.
CNN has
reached out to the Israeli military for comment on Abu Saifya’s allegations.
At least
1,050 health workers have been killed since Israel launched its war in Gaza
after the Hamas-led October 7 attacks, according to the Ministry of Health in
Ramallah. The Israeli military launched a renewed incursion on three cities in
northern Gaza on October 5, saying it is targeting Hamas’ renewed presence in
the area.
“Kamal
Adwan Hospital is now being subjected to a new war crime, and the occupation
forces are practicing all forms of killing and violence in it and around it,”
the health ministry in Ramallah said on Friday. “The remaining wounded inside
it are suffering from severe wounds and are in immediate need of treatment.
“For
more than a year, the ministry has been appealing on a daily basis to provide
protection for treatment centers, health cadres, ambulance crews and vehicles
and volunteer medical teams, to stop the aggression, and to allow the entry of
urgent medical supplies and the exit of the wounded for treatment.”
