Israeli forces have destroyed the main surgical building at Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital, following four days of siege.

The building was blown up on Thursday, as Israel tightened its siege of Gaza’s largest medical complex. Israeli forces ordered people trapped inside to evacuate before they target the entire facility, according to a Middle East Eye correspondent.

“If you leave the building [without the army’s orders], the soldiers will shoot at you.” A video from the hospital shows women and children scrambling to leave, awaiting the army’s next orders, as the men were reportedly taken away by the soldiers.

The Israeli army said it had killed 140 Palestinians since the start of its raid on the hospital in the early hours of Monday, including 50 over the past day, claiming they were all fighters. Hamas denies having any fighters inside the hospital.

    Also new reports of israel mass executing people in the hospital

    A survivor who asked to be identified only as “M.K.” confirmed that Israeli soldiers repeatedly took prisoners into the hospital’s morgue area, that gunshots were then heard, and that the soldiers left without the prisoners. “The soldiers detained me and handcuffed me in the hospital courtyard; I was left undressed for more than nine hours,” M.K. stated.

    “About four times during that period, I saw soldiers lead groups of detainees—[always] at least three people and [never] more than 10—into the hospital buildings, particularly the morgue building where bodies had previously been kept,” added M.K. “Gunshots were heard, with the soldiers then leaving the area to bring another group there.”
