An Israeli air strike morning on Sunday, April 13, strongly damaged one of the few hospitals that operate in Gaza, as the Israeli army addressed to a “control and control control center of Hamas” that operates from the facilities. The strike at the Al-Ahli hospital in northern Gaza-also known as the Baptist or the Arab Hospital of Ahli, did not cause victims, but arrived a day after the Israeli forces confiscated a key corridor in the territory and pointed out plans to expand their campaign.
It also occurs after the United Nations warned that related medications and supplies are rapidly depleting in Gaza as the casualties increase. “The bombing led to the destruction of the surgery building and the oxygen generation station for intensive care units,” said Gaza’s civil defense rescue agency. The strike came “minutes after [Israeli] Army warning to evacuate this patient building, wounded and their peers, “said the agency.
The explosion left a hole in one of the hospital buildings, with iron doors torn from their hinges. The spectators sifted the debris, while some recovered teams from a medium of the strike also damaged in the strike. Iraq Pro-Iran’s television said one of its live broadcast vehicles was beaten by the strike.
Patients in the streets
The strike in the hospital occurred when Israel expanded and intensified its offensive in much of Gaza. An air strike on Sunday aimed at a vehicle in the central city or Deir El-Balah killed seven people, including six brothers, the civil defense said.
On Saturday, Israeli defense minister Israel Katz announced that the military planned to expand their offensive, since it completed the acquisition of the “Morag Axis” between the cities of the south of Rafah and Khan Yunis. The corridor is part of what he calls “the Israeli security zone.”
Patients, relatives and medical staff evacuated the Al-Ahli hospital in a hurry after the warning of the military to evacuate. Many now remain stranded in the surrounding streets. Since the outbreak of the war, tens of thousands of guys have sought refuge in hospitals throughout the territory, many of which suffered serious damage in the lawyer of the hosts.
The Israeli army said that Hamas militants were operating from the hospital complex. The security forces “hit a command and control center used by Hamas at the Al-Ahli hospital,” said the army. “The compound was used by Hamas terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and FDI troops.”
The Ministry of Health in Gaza, administered by Hamas, condemned the strike, saying that it led to the “forced evacuation of patients and medical personnel.”

Hospitals, protected by international humanitarian law, have been repeatedly beaten by Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas on October 7, 2023.
Help and UN agencies say that only a few hospitals or 36 gazas are partial functional. “The health system in Gaza is rejected by the influx of victims and rapidly depleting essential medicines and supplies due to the entry of humanitarian aid supplies in Gaza for approximately one month”, the Saindanes Affairs Office of Humanitan Affairs.
