The Israeli army began this Tuesday to evacuate Al Naser, the main operational hospital in Gaza, in the city of Khan Younis. The estimated thousands of people inside have spent the last few days in fear of the tanks and riflemen stationed nearby.

The Israeli army believes that the medical centers hide access to the underground network of tunnels used by the militants. The Palestinian Red Crescent also reported "intense shelling" in the surroundings of another hospital in Khan Yunis, Al Amal, which has been damaged.
