Israeli forces have officially exited the Kamal Adwan Hospital, which has become a focal point in the ongoing conflict in Gaza, following a controversial three-day operation. Conducted as part of a focused offensive against Hamas, the raid resulted in the detention of nearly all medical personnel, leaving only one pediatrician to care for patients. After violent engagements in the surrounding neighborhoods, troops stormed the hospital, a critical facility that serves a large number of patients.

According to Israeli military sources, while the operation was purportedly conducted with caution to avoid damage to critical medical infrastructure, the Gaza health ministry reported tragic consequences, including the death of two children in the intensive care unit due to power loss from the military intervention. The chaos reportedly reached alarming levels as medical staff struggled with overcapacity while the Israeli troops searched for suspected militants.

The Gaza health ministry has called for urgent assistance from international medical organizations and has encouraged those with surgical expertise to come to the hospital to aid the injured. The situation remains fluid as reports indicate ongoing challenges in providing adequate medical care amid the hostilities.

Previously raided in December, Kamal Adwan Hospital is emblematic of the broader humanitarian crisis occurring within Gaza, raising pressing questions about the impact of military actions on civilian health infrastructure. The health ministry continues to plead for intervention, signifying the deepening health crisis amidst regional conflict escalation.
