On April 1, Israel confirmed that the IDF and ISA troops completed precise operational activity in the area of the Shifa Hospital and exited the area of the medical facility.
According to the Israeli military, ‘the troops killed terrorists in close-quarters encounters, located numerous weapons and intelligence documents throughout the hospital, while preventing harm to civilians, patients, and medical teams.”
In fact, Israeli forces withdrew from Al-Shifa Hospital after two-week raid, leaving the medical complex in ruins. The IDF left behind a wasteland of destroyed buildings and Palestinian bodies scattered in the dirt after completing its “operation.”
Footage the area revealed the scale of the damage inflicted on the buildings of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, located in the west of Gaza City.
On April 1, the Gaza Health Ministry confirmed that Israeli forces had withdrawn tanks and vehicles from al-Shifa Hospital. The ministry said that dozens of bodies, some of them decomposed, had been found at the complex after the Israeli pullout. It emphasized that Israel retreated from the hospital “after burning down the complex buildings and putting it completely out of service.”
The spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry has urged an immediate international probe into Israel’s “horrifying and shocking” war crimes in Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital.
“The scale of destruction, torture, killing and the number of the Palestinian detainees in this hospital are horrifying and shocking,” Nasser Kan’ani said. “An international investigation is an urgent necessity,” he emphasized.
“Will the well-known self-professed human rights advocates support an international investigation into the aspects of this blatant war crime, or will the selective and discriminatory behavior towards human rights continue?” Kan’ani asked.
Gaza’s media office announced in a statement that more than 400 Palestinians have lost their lives during the Israeli military’s raid on al-Shifa hospital during the raid. The statement added that the victims include patients, war-displaced and healthcare staff, noting that hundreds more have been arrested and subjected to torture.
Earlier, the Ministry of Health in Gaza said at the time that about 3,000 people were inside the medical complex seeking refuge and that those attempting to leave were being targeted by snipers and fire from helicopters.
