After a two-week operation, Israeli forces have withdrawn from Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, leaving behind a scene of devastation. Reports indicate that the hospital complex was in a state of disarray, with destroyed buildings and Palestinian bodies scattered throughout the area. Allegations have surfaced that Israeli forces executed individuals at the complex, with bodies found in handcuffs. Furthermore, bulldozers were reportedly used to dig up the grounds of the hospital, uncovering buried bodies.
While the Israeli military claimed to have killed and detained hundreds of gunmen in clashes in the area of the hospital, Hamas and medical staff have denied that Palestinian fighters have a presence in hospitals. Despite these denials, images circulated on social media showed the grim reality on the ground – dead Palestinians covered in blankets, the hospital building charred, and surrounding structures flattened or burned down. The destruction left behind by the conflict paints a stark picture of the toll it has taken on the region.
In the aftermath of the Israeli operation, residents of the area rushed to Al Shifa Hospital to assess the damage to the surrounding residential districts. The sight of destroyed buildings and the presence of Palestinian bodies served as a stark reminder of the violence that had gripped the region. One resident, Samir Basel, expressed his grief over the situation, describing it as “horrible massacres” committed by the Israeli occupation. He emphasized the need for rebuilding, stating that “there is no Shifa hospital anymore.”

As the dust settles in Gaza City and the true extent of the damage becomes clear, the international community watches on, grappling with the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the area.
