Israeli forces on Monday pulled out of Gaza’s largest hospital complex after an intensive two-week military operation, leaving behind charred buildings and bodies strewn at the sprawling complex.
Israel has said its forces have withdrawn from Gaza’s largest hospital – with accusations it’s left behind decomposing bodies.
A general view shows the damage in the area surrounding Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital after the Israeli military withdrew from the complex housing the hospital on April 1, 2024, amid the ongoing battles Israel and the Hamas militant group. Battles have also flared around other Gaza hospitals almost six months into the war sparked by Hamas’s October 7 attacks which have destroyed swathes of the besieged coastal territory.
UN agencies and humanitarian aid groups have warned that many of Gaza’s 2.4 million people are on the brink of famine, and donor countries have sporadically trucked in and air-dropped food. The right-wing premier has also been at odds with Israel’s top ally the United States, which has objected to his plans to invade Rafah because the city is crowded with about 1.5 million people.
Israel’s retaliatory campaign has killed at least 32,782 people, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza health ministry. Police told AFP that Sabah Abdel Salam Haniyeh, 57, who is an Israeli citizen, was taken into custody as part investigation also involving Israel’s security agency Shin Bet.
