Al-Shifa Hospital was stormed by the occupation army for the second time (Reuters)

The wounded Palestinians Muhammad and Imad Murshid reported yesterday, Sunday, that parts of Al-Shifa Hospital were bombed and destroyed, and parts of it were burned.

They also pointed out that the roads surrounding the hospital are full of the bodies of victims killed by the Israeli army during the storming and bombing that lasted seven days in a row.

The two Palestinians, who were forced by the occupation army to flee from Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City to the southern regions, confirmed that Israeli forces arrested or killed all those who were in the hospital.

After fleeing from Al-Shifa Hospital, the two Palestinians were able to reach Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the city of Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, on foot, to receive treatment.

The wounded Muhammad Murshid (29 years old) said that they came out of the upper floor of the hospital after being hit by a shell, and he, his brother, his cousin, and another person were injured.

He pointed out that they went down to the ground floor after the bombing so that they could surrender themselves and ask for help from the army, which photographed them and forced them to take off their clothes, including the injured.

He explained that during the arrest process, the women and children were separated and placed in a separate room, while the men were gathered in another room.

He stated that during the period of detention, a cloth was placed over their eyes, and that the soldiers assured them that there was no soldier assigned to carry out executions, indicating that this is not the responsibility of all soldiers.

He added that they were not interrogated during the three days they spent in detention, but before they left, their identities were taken and they were photographed, and they were allowed to leave for the south.

During the period of displacement, Muhammad indicated that he saw many bodies dumped in the roads and streets as a result of Israeli attacks.

It was also stated that the Israeli army carried out executions, burning, and bombing of homes.

During their siege inside the hospital, Muhammad said that they were drinking water mixed with salt water to survive, and they ate only half a loaf of bread all day.

Kill and destroy

As for Imad Murshid (45 years old), he talked about being injured in the hospital after they were targeted by a missile while they were on the upper floor of Al-Shifa Hospital.

He explained that they surrendered themselves to the army on the ground floor, where the soldiers photographed them and took them without clothes to a burning house near the hospital in the middle of a military barracks.

He confirmed that the Israeli army forces were bringing them one bottle of water daily.

He continued that Al-Shifa Hospital was destroyed, looted, and burned in some of its departments, and that detainees were being either killed or taken to an unknown destination.

During the past week, Israeli army forces blew up civilian homes and burned others in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital, causing the death of many Palestinians and forcing hundreds to flee to the south of the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army continues to storm Al-Shifa Hospital, which housed thousands of patients and displaced people, and carried out a massive campaign of arrests and killings of the displaced. It also bombed the surrounding homes, killing hundreds of people and wounding many of them.

This is the second time that the Israeli army has stormed Al-Shifa Hospital since the beginning of the war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023. It was stormed last November 16 after a week of siege, during which its courtyards, parts of its buildings, medical equipment, and electricity generator were destroyed. .
