CNN —The Israeli military launched an operation on Monday against Gaza’s largest hospital facility, Al-Shifa, where thousands of people are sheltering.
“Military vehicles are firing at the hospital buildings’ windows, and at anyone who is caught moving between the hallways,” Hamada Abdelhadi, a displaced Palestinian man seeking shelter at Al-Shifa, told CNN.
One witness who lives in nearby Gaza City told CNN he had seen “a big invasion of tanks” headed toward Al-Shifa.
And dead bodies and those injured were pulled away by Israeli forces,” he told CNN by phone.
During the first round of fighting at Al-Shifa in November, Israel urged Gaza’s northern residents to head south to seek refuge.
