Occupation forces withdrew from Al-Shifa Hospital after nearly completely evacuating it for patients, staff, and displaced people, blowing up its facilities and rendering it inoperable, while at least 19 health workers and 259 injured and seriously ill patients remained at the compound.

Occupation forces arrested Director Dr. Abu Salmiya and a number of medical staff during their forced evacuation to the southern areas of Gaza

Occupation forces forcibly evacuated about 2,500 people from the hospital under the supervision of the WHO and a team from the UN. The occupation forces had ordered the Director General of Al-Shifa, Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, to evacuate the buildings, but the medical staff refused at the time.

Occupation forces stormed the hospital after a six-day siege, entering the compound from the western side using heavy gunfire, shelling the coronary care clinic, and deploying snipers in the vicinity of the compound. The occupation forces first raided the new surgery building and emergency building where patients and medical staff were located before moving the rest of the hospital's departments, blowing up internal doors.

The hospital's management dug a mass grave to bury the martyrs in the hospital yard.

Occupation tanks stationed 200 meters from the northern and southern sides of the compound prevented the arrival of ambulances.

The Ministry of Health stated that occupation forces stormed the hospital, destroying the hospital's main gate and arresting a number of medical staff and patients in the hospital.
