Israeli army: No evacuation of clinics in combat zones

Wafa reported, citing medical circles, that Israel's army had forced doctors at the Al-Ahli hospital in the city of Gaza to close the clinic. After the area around the clinic came under heavy fire, all patients and displaced persons staying there were forced to leave the hospital. Israel's military denied the claim.

Civilians had been asked to leave the combat zones of the city of Gaza as a precautionary measure. However, the call did not apply to hospitals and medical facilities. The army had informed representatives of the Palestinian health system that it was not necessary to evacuate clinics in the area. According to Palestinian reports, a number of people, including patients, had previously left the Al-Ahli hospital.

None of the information could initially be independently verified.
