The Palestinian Red Crescent Society revealed that Israeli occupation forces are besieging the Al-Amal and Nasser hospitals in Gaza, in addition to the continued siege of Al-Shifa Hospital.
"Israel" has been claiming that Resistance fighters are operating in hospitals since the start of the genocide in Gaza but has failed to prove their presence for six months.
On Sunday, the IOF renewed aggression against the two hospitals in Khan Younis and enclosed their vicinities with military vehicles.

Al-Amal came under heavy and indiscriminate Israeli fire, killing a volunteer worker, Amir Abu Aisha, the PRCS reported. Moreover, Israeli drone broadcast messages demanded that all patients, medical workers, and Palestinians at the hospital leave naked. However, all entrances were shut by dirt barriers.
"All of our crews are currently under extreme danger and cannot move at all."

The Israeli siege of Al-Shifa Hospital
On March 18, Israeli occupation forces forced multiple families out of streets and buildings surrounding the Al-Shifa Hospital in western Gaza City where they had taken shelter.
Occupation forces continue to randomly shell and fire at citizens in the area while raiding several homes in the area. The Israeli military also demanded all Palestinian citizens immediately leave the al-Rimal neighborhood and the Al-Shifa Medical Complex after it launched an attack on the medical facility for the second time since the war on Gaza began.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that around 30,000 Palestinians were besieged in the medical complex, which is coming under the direct fire of Israeli artillery and strikes. The medical complex also hosts around 5,000 wounded people.
Following their initial attack, Israeli occupation forces committed another atrocious massacre in the Gaza Strip, executing 50 Palestinian citizens in Al-Shifa Medical Complex, the Gaza Media Office announced.
It revealed that the Israeli military admitted to committing the massacre, a "clear war crime" and a "blatant violation of international law."
"We received preliminary information regarding the occupation army's execution of a number of children among civilians, patients, and [forcibly] displaced people that were executed."
