Others are chanting slogans "Biden, you are a liar", “Free Palestine”, “Israel is apartheid state” and “ceasefire now”.
The Israeli forces that were surrounding the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza since last two days stormed the hospital premised in the wee hours Wednesday November 15, 2023.
After breaking into Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza, the Israeli forces ordered the Director of Health, Dr. Munir Al Barsh, to go to the courtyard. However he rejected the Israeli order stressing that he is a doctor doing his job and will never cooperate with occupation forces.
Dr. Munir later told Al Jazeera that Israeli soldiers opened fire at those, who went through a corridor that the army announced a safe exit from Al Shifa Hospital.
Israeli forces are undertaking military operation in Gaza to “eliminate Hamas”. However, how many of Hamas militants have been killed in 40 days of relentless bombings of Gaza in unclear.
But, after killing more than 11,300 civilians, Israeli Occupation Forces have now waged a war against hospitals in Gaza under the pretext that they are being used by the Palestinian Resistance Groups as control rooms and hideouts.
The Palestinian Resistance Groups, including New York based rights groups working in Gaza and the hospital staff, rejected the Israeli claims.
The Palestinians Health Ministry and Hamas militants also invited UN and other international observers for inspection of the hospitals in Gaza.
