Israeli forces executed 5 doctors and nurses in Al-Shifa Complex (French)

The government media office in Gaza said that the information available to them indicates that the Israeli occupation soldiers executed more than 200 displaced Palestinians inside the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City and arrested about a thousand others.

He confirmed that the occupation soldiers are threatening the medical teams and the displaced people inside the complex by bombing and destroying the buildings above their heads, or going out for investigation, torture, or execution.

Director of the Government Information Office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabta, said that the Israeli occupation is still controlling and occupying the Shifa complex, killing Palestinians, destroying the homes surrounding it, arresting hundreds of sick, wounded, and displaced people, and interrogating, torturing, and starving them.

Al-Thawabta stated that the Israeli forces executed 5 doctors and nurses, and detained a number of other medical staff.

He pointed out that the Israeli army combed residential squares in the vicinity of the hospital, and also destroyed and bombed dozens of homes, completely demolishing them, and committed massacres inside the complex against the displaced and detainees.

For the eleventh day, the Israeli army continues to storm and besiege the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, in addition to bombing, destroying and burning a number of homes and residential buildings surrounding the hospital, causing martyrs and wounded.

The people around the hospital are suffering from a shortage of food and water supplies, due to the Israeli siege on the area.

This is the second time that Israeli forces have stormed Al-Shifa Hospital since the beginning of the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023. They stormed it for the first time on November 16 after besieging it for a week, and destroyed its courtyards, parts of its buildings, medical equipment, and the electricity generator.

Since October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip that has left tens of thousands of martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, a humanitarian catastrophe and massive infrastructure destruction, which led to Tel Aviv appearing before the International Court of Justice on charges of genocide.
