Israeli forces have entered the maternity unit of Nasser Hospital, the largest functioning medical facility in the Gaza Strip, as part of their ongoing offensive against the Palestinian enclave.
According to Al Jazeera, The Gaza Health Ministry said in a statement on Telegram that the soldiers stormed the unit on X and forced the women and children to evacuate without any of their belongings.
The statement added that the soldiers also searched the administrative building of the hospital complex.
The raid came amid a surge of violence in Gaza, where Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling have killed more than 20,000 Palestinians, including dozens of children, since October 2023, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
The Israeli military says it is targeting Hamas and other militant groups that have fired thousands of rockets at Israel.
The military recently claimed that the Nasser Hospital is being used by Hamas as a hideout and that they have kept hostages there.
