During the Israel–Hamas war, the Kamal Adwan Hospital, a hospital in Beit Lahia, Gaza Strip, Palestine, has been besieged multiple times by the Israel Defense Forces. Hamas has been accused of using hospitals as shields and bases to conduct attacks against Israel.
In a statement, Dr Hussam Abu Safia, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, says from yesterday afternoon until midnight, Israeli bombardment "directly hit" the entrance to the emergency and reception area several times, as well as the hospital courtyards, electrical generators and hospital gates. This resulted in 12 injuries among doctors, nurses and administrative staff, he said, calling it "a dark day" that "has been added to the ongoing bombardment" of the only operating hospital in northern Gaza.
