A threat from Israel to bomb Gaza's Al-Quds Hospital

 Amid repeated warnings to the Strip's hospitals and the targeting of medical centers, the Palestinian Red Crescent announced on Sunday that it had received "strongly worded" threats from the occupation authorities to promptly evacuate Al-Quds Hospital in the Gaza Strip.

According to the Red Crescent, Israeli raids in the area of Al-Quds Hospital had been ongoing since the wee hours of the morning, resulting in the demolition of buildings within a 50-meter radius.

The largest medical facility in northern Gaza, the Indonesian Hospital in the Strip, was partially damaged as a result of an Israeli
bombing that occurred yesterday, Saturday.

The largest hospital in the Gaza Governorate, Al-Shifa Hospital, was also bombed by the occupation yesterday, and its evacuation was requested in response to multiple threats to bomb the hospital itself in recent days. Israel had claimed that the hospital housed the central leadership of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), a claim that Hamas refuted and saw as a pretext for a "new massacre."

The Kuwaiti Hospital in downtown Rafah received an eviction threat from the occupation authority on October 15, which the hospital's management turned down.

When the occupation attacked Baptist Hospital on October 17, it carried out a massacre that claimed the lives of around 470 Palestinians, the majority of whom sought safety there from indiscriminate bombardment or after their houses were destroyed.

Recently, the Palestinian Ministry of Health declared that 32 primary care clinics and 12 hospitals in Gaza were either unable to operate because of fuel shortages or were directly targeted by Israel.
