The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has said Israeli forces raided Al Amal Hospital in Khan Younis earlier today.

“We are concerned about the safety of our teams inside Al-Amal Hospital, as well as the wounded and patients, due to the continuous occupation raid on the hospital,” the organisation said. 

It previously said Israel’s forces had targeted the hospital and the PRCS headquarters in Khan Younis for several days, killing at least 43 people. 

The IDF said in a statement it is carrying out a “precise sweep and clear operation to locate terrorists and dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the vicinity” due to intelligence that Hamas is conducting activities within the hospital.
