The Director General of the Government Media Office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabta, said that the Israeli occupation forces killed more than 100 people inside the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
Al-Thawabta added in statements to Al-Jazeera early on Saturday that the occupation forces executed some medical personnel inside the complex.
He continued that 4 patients died inside the largest health facility in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli army preventing their treatment, and described the situation inside the complex as tragic.
The Israeli army continues its storming and siege of the Al-Shifa Complex for the sixth day, and earlier the storming forces arrested hundreds of displaced people and a number of medical staff members inside the complex.
Al Jazeera's correspondent reported the death of 3 patients inside the complex due to the siege and the occupation forces preventing access to medicines.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the occupation forces detained about 240 patients, their companions, and 10 health personnel inside the hospital yesterday, Friday.
The ministry also said that the occupation bombed several buildings and burned the arterial department in the Shifa Medical Complex.
Eyewitnesses reported to Al Jazeera that the occupation army was asking those trapped in the hospital to surrender themselves amid heavy gunfire and the sound of explosions.
