The Israeli incursion into the area also forced the residents to flee it under Israeli fire.
Earlier on Friday, the Israeli army partially withdrew from several areas in the city, leaving large-scale destruction in residential areas.
The Patient Friend’s Hospital, one of the oldest health centers in Gaza, was badly damaged in the early days of the Israeli onslaught against Gaza in October, forcing it to shut down before being repaired.
The Israeli army has deliberately and regularly targeted hospitals across the Gaza Strip as part of its ongoing deadly offensive on the enclave. (T/RE1/P2)
