Occupation forces forced thousands of displaced people and patients to leave the hospital at gunpoint and under heavy fire. About 190 staff members and 299 of their family members remained inside the compound, in addition to 273 immobile patients and 327 of their companions. Occupation forces also shelled the third floor of the hospital, injuring a doctor and shelled the orthopedic department, resulting in the martyrdom of a patient and several injuries. Additionally, the occupation forces prevented two missions from arriving, and the WHO lost contact with the staff at the hospital. Occupying forces also sent a handcuffed Palestinian detainee to deliver the occupying forces' threat to evacuate the compound, after which he was shot and martyred.
