[MarineCombatEngineer]

The IDF denies reports by Palestinian media claiming that the Israeli military struck the Indonesian Hospital and ordered the evacuation of the medical center in the northern Gaza Strip.

“Contrary to reports, the IDF did not strike the Indonesian Hospital in Jabalia over the past day and did not damage any essential equipment,” the IDF’s international media spokesman, Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani says on X.

“Following reports regarding the evacuation of the hospital, messages were sent to reiterate to officials in the health authorities that there is no need to evacuate the hospital,” he continues.

“The IDF emphasizes that it is not operating to evacuate the hospital. The IDF remains in ongoing coordination with hospital officials in order to enable and facilitate the supply of humanitarian assistance to the hospital,” Shoshani adds.

1. but they did do this: Israel confirms it is holding Gaza hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safiya (Kamal Adwan Hospital)

Israeli forces have detained and interrogated medical staff after forcibly evacuating the last major hospital in northern Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry says. The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, was among those taken for questioning by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which accused him of "being a Hamas terrorist operative", without providing evidence.

On Friday an estimated 50 people, including medical staff were killed in Israeli air strikes targeting the vicinity of the hospital, the health ministry said. The IDF said it had carried out an operation there, alleging the hospital was a "Hamas terrorist stronghold". Fifteen critical patients, 50 caregivers and 20 health workers were transferred the nearby Indonesian Hospital, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.

The WHO said it was "appalled by yesterday's raid" on the hospital, which it said now meant the area's last major health facility was out of service. Eid Sabbah, head of the nursing department at Kamal Adwan, told the BBC the military had ordered the evacuation around 07:00 on Friday, giving the hospital about 15 minutes to move patients and staff into the courtyard. Israeli troops then entered the hospital and removed the remaining patients, he said.

The IDF said it had "facilitated the secure evacuation of civilians, patients and medical personnel" before beginning the operation. The city of Beit Lahia, where the hospital is located, has been under a tightening Israeli blockade imposed on parts of northern Gaza since October. The UN has said the area has been under "near-total siege" as the Israeli military heavily restricts access of aid deliveries to an area where an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 people remain.

2. Here's where the argument is lost.

I don't trust anything coming from the "Hamas-health ministry", they have been proven to be liars on the scale of Been A Dick Donald.

Israel faces mounting pressure over detention of Gaza hospital chief

Aid groups raised concerns over the safety of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who was detained after a raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of the last functioning medical facilities in northern Gaza.

Israel faced mounting pressure Saturday over its detention of a Gaza hospital chief during a raid on one of the last functioning medical facilities in the battered north of the Palestinian enclave. Israel has in recent days confirmed it is holding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and defended its assault that shut down Kamal Adwan Hospital, saying that the prominent pediatrician was suspected of "involvement in terrorist activities, and for holding a rank" in Hamas, which it said had made the site a stronghold along with another militant group.

But rights groups and United Nations officials have questioned those claims, which Israel made without providing evidence, urging the U.S. ally to release Abu Safiya or at least disclose his whereabouts as fears grow for his safety. Concerns for the hospital director's wellbeing come as Israel faces growing scrutiny over a military offensive that the U.N. Human Rights Office said this week had pushed Gaza's healthcare system to “the brink of total collapse.” Israeli air strikes killed at least 170 people, including several children, in Gaza over the past week and hit an Israeli-declared humanitarian zone, local officials said, deepening the humanitarian crisis in the enclave as it grapples with the effects of a winter under siege.

The U.S. is in contact with the Israeli government, as well as partners on the ground, and is gathering information about Abu Safiya, Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Dorothy Shea told the Security Council on Friday. She said it was "vital for Israel to comply with international humanitarian law and to take every possible step to prevent civilian harm" to both patients and medical professionals.

Israeli forces raided Kamal Adwan Hospital late last month, detaining scores of people and forcing the closure of the medical facility. The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli forces stormed inside and “forcibly” removed health workers, patients and family members, as military vehicles surrounded the hospital. Video captured outside the hospital and verified by NBC News showed Abu Safiya, wearing a white medical overcoat and walking alone toward a military vehicle. The Israel Defense Forces initially confirmed that Abu Safiya had been detained and interrogated, saying that he was being held as a “suspect” and questioned over “potential involvement in terrorist activity.”

6. My replies were about another Gaza, hospital, not the one in the OP.

4. One small fact.

The OP's about the Indonesian Hospital.

You're pointing out something about the Kamal Adwan Hospital.

They are not the same thing. Looks like they're about 1 mile apart as the crow flies.

9. That they call themselves "the world's most moral army"

while their members are openly posting videos of their war crimes on YouTube and TikTok should tell everyone all they need to know about what a laughable claim that is.
