The Israeli Defense Forces have initiated an operation against Hamas fighters near the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, which Hamas alleges was attacked by Israeli soldiers, forcing staff and patients to evacuate. This action follows reports of the deaths of hospital staff due to an Israeli airstrike. The military claims the hospital has been a staging ground for terrorists and is conducting targeted operations to avoid civilian casualties. The situation has led to concerns over the safety of those remaining in conflict zones within Gaza.
