Dozens of patients and medical workers were forced out of the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip before Israeli aircraft bombed the medical facility, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

The hospital is the only remaining functional medical facility in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, after healthcare infrastructure was completely dismantled in previous Israeli attacks. 

Israeli authorities issued evacuation orders shortly before bombing the hospital early on Sunday. 

Our correspondent confirmed that the bombing inflicted severe damage on the emergency building, including the reception area, laboratory, and pharmacy.

This comes amid continuous bombardment that has targeted various areas across the Gaza Strip. Strikes on Sunday also targeted the Saad Bin Mua'th School and the Abdullah al-Dahyan School in the neighborhoods of al-Tuffah and al-Sheikh al-Radwan, respectively.

It is worth noting that the hospital's courtyard was bombed by Israeli occupation forces on October 17, 2023, in an infamous massacre that Israeli authorities denied involvement in.

At the time, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported that 471 Palestinians were martyred and 342 were injured.

Gaza gov. urges international community to protect remaining hospitals

Meanwhile, the Gaza Government Media Office urged the international community to denounce the Israeli attack on al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, urging swift work to protect remaining healthcare facilities in the territory. 

It underscored that the Baptist Hospital houses several specialized medical departments, serving hindered of patients. Being the only remaining hospital in the area, the Media Office stressed that the hospital provides healthcare services to more than one million Palestinians.

The office pointed to the deliberate destruction of 34 hospitals in the Gaza Strip as part of a "systematic plan to eliminate what remains of the healthcare sector in Gaza," in a statement.

The statement underlined that in doing so, the Israeli occupation blatantly violated international conventions and the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit attacks against medical facilities.

Hamas: Al-Ahli bombing couldn't happen without US's greenlight

Hamas has condemned what it described as a "new war crime" following the bombing of Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza, saying that it adds to a list of other crimes committed by the occupation.

The statement characterized the hospital attack as further evidence that "Israel" is a "rogue criminal entity" operating outside the bounds of international law and humanitarian norms. Hamas also underlined that these actions are taking place with direct support from the United States, criticizing Washington’s complicity and the failure of global accountability systems.

Holding the US administration fully responsible, Hamas said the bombing could not have occurred without an American "green light."

The group also issued a sharp critique of the international community, questioning the silence of global political and legal institutions — particularly the United Nations Security Council — in the face of “unprecedented crimes in modern times.”

Hamas urged the international community, including the United Nations, Arab and Islamic states, to intervene immediately. It called for urgent action to halt what it described as gross violations of international law and to take political and moral responsibility for ending the continued bloodshed in Gaza.
