CNN —Israeli forces have surrounded two more hospitals in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said, describing intense shelling and heavy gunfire.
The PRCS said Sunday that Al-Amal Hospital and Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza were both encircled.
Both hospitals were surrounded by Israeli forces for prolonged spells earlier this year.
On Monday, the IDF launched a fresh operation at Al Shifa after claiming that “senior Hamas terrorists” were using the facility.
Hamas accused Israel of striking targets “without regard” to the patients or medical staff inside – a claim echoed by people at the complex.
