Amidst intense shelling and gunfire, israeli troops have raided the Nasser and al-Amal Hospitals, with military vehicles surrounding both medical complexes.
According to PRCS, the situation is dire, with its teams facing extreme danger and immobilization. Israeli military vehicles are conducting extensive excavation work around al-Amal Hospital, which is currently surrounded. One displaced person sheltering in al-Amal Hospital has been injured in the head, and smoke bombs were fired at the facility to force staff, wounded individuals, and displaced people out of the building.
Tragically, Amir Abu Aisha, a member of the PRCS emergency operations room, was killed by Israeli gunfire while working inside al-Amal Hospital, as per medical sources. PRCS crews were unable to bury Abu Aisha’s body in the hospital’s backyard due to heavy gunfire.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli forces also stormed various areas of Khan Yunis, causing deaths and injuries, while the regime’s military vehicles suddenly entered near the Nasser Medical Complex.
