Commenting on this issue, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, said that the Israeli occupation forces, who invaded the hospital, demanded that the hospital administration and medical staff hand over a weapon belonging to a hospital security guard, indicating that this is an attempt to justify their criminal behavior and fabricate a new lie.
This is happening as the Israeli occupation has persisted with its intensive artillery shelling campaign against areas in central Gaza, in addition to air raids in various areas across the Strip.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the occupation executed intense fire belts around the central areas of Khan Younis, south of the Strip.
Israeli warplanes launched raids on the northern part of Khan Younis city and targeted a house in the Beit Hanoun area in the city center.
Our correspondent also reported that the Israeli occupation Air Force is continuously targeting the vicinity of the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
In the central part of the Strip, several casualties were reported as a result of an Israeli bombardment targeting a house in Nusseirat, and artillery shelling renewed in the eastern areas of Deir al-Balah city, our correspondent reported.
More than 15 martyrs were confirmed to have arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital after a series of Israeli massacres, the latest of which was in the Nusseirat camp.
Alaa Soboh has been injured twice. Once in northern #Gaza due to an Israeli bombing of their house, and a second time at Nuseirat refugee camp where she lost her arm.

The health crisis in Gaza has reached alarming proportions as the toll of Israeli aggression has climbed to 18,205 martyrs and 49,645 injured since October 7.
The situation is expected to worsen as a significant number of people remain trapped under debris, while ambulances are barred from reaching the wounded due to depleted fuel reserves.
Earlier, Spokesperson for the Gaza Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qudra revealed that the Israeli occupation had deliberately targeted 137 facilities, rendering 22 hospitals and 46 primary care centers inoperable.
