Gaza Health Ministry says Israeli army deployed bulldozers at Al-Shifa hospital

The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza said Thursday that the Israeli army had deployed bulldozers at the Al-Shifa hospital, DW reports.

"Israeli bulldozers destroyed parts of the southern entrance," the ministry said in a brief statement in Arabic.

The Israeli army confirmed to the AFP news agency that an operation was in progress at the hospital complex.

"Tonight we conducted a targeted operation into Shifa hospital. We continue to move forward," Major General Yaron Finkelman, head of Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip, said on the army's Telegram channel.

The army began an operation at the hospital on Wednesday, sparking international concern. They said they found "military and combat equipment" in the compound. The Health Ministry in Gaza denied the claim.

An AFP source who was trapped in the hospital said Israeli soldiers burst into the hospital, shot in the air and told young men to surrender.

Israel and its top ally the United States have said Hamas militants have a command center below the Al-Shifa complex. Hamas and the hospital authorities have denied this claim.
