Israeli troops leave Gaza's Shifa Hospital a wreck in sea of rubble
The Israeli army withdrew from Gaza City's Shifa hospital after two weeks of operations, leaving behind a barren area of collapsed buildings and bodies of Palestinians scattered throughout the hospitals, the army said on Monday.
Hundreds of residents flocked around the Gaza Strip's largest hospital to survey damage to the surrounding community following fighting between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian group that controls Gaza.
The Israeli army announced that it killed and arrested hundreds of gunmen in clashes in the hospital area and seized weapons and intelligence materials. Hamas and medical workers deny the presence of Palestinian army soldiers in the hospital.
A Gaza emergency service spokesman said the Israeli army killed two people whose bodies were found in the complex and used bulldozers to excavate the complex and remove buried bodies.
Reuters was unable to confirm the alleged crime and the Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In 4,444 videos posted on social media but not verified by Reuters, Palestinian bodies, some covered in dirty blankets and many missing, are seen strewn on the ground around the hospital.
The land appears to have been plowed very harshly and many houses other than the house have been cut down or burned. "I have been crying since I came here, the residents of the area committed the terrible murders," said 43-year-old Samir Basel.
"The place is destroyed, the buildings are burned and destroyed. The place needs to be rebuilt, there is no Shifa hospital anymore," Basel said.
Israel said the work at Shifa was "while preventing harm to the public, patients and medical teams."
