Israeli Army Raids Red Crescent Headquarters, Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis

Gaza, MINA – The Israeli army raided the headquarters of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, the organization said on Tuesday.

“Israeli forces are demanding the medical staff and displaced people to vacate the building,” it added in a brief statement as quoted by Anadolu Agency.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army on the report.

Palestinian health authorities have repeatedly accused the Israeli army of targeting hospitals and ambulances during its deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7.
