Israel's airstrike on Al-Ahli Hospital in northern Gaza resulted in the evacuation of patients, including one girl who died due to lack of medical care. The hospital, operated by the Diocese of Jerusalem, condemned the attack, which occurred on Palm Sunday - significant in Christian observance. The Israeli military claimed the strike was aimed at a Hamas command center. Following this, additional strikes in Deir al-Balah killed seven individuals. Israeli officials stated operations would expand in Gaza and urged residents to evacuate from conflict areas, asserting actions were intended to protect citizens against Hamas threats.
One patient, a girl, died during the evacuation because medical staff were unable to provide urgent care after the Israeli strike on Al-Ahli Hospital.
The pre-dawn strike hit Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, after Israel issued an evacuation warning, according to Gaza's ministry of health.
The hospital, run by the Diocese of Jerusalem, condemned the attack stating it occurred on Palm Sunday, representing the most sacred week of the Christian year.
Israeli defense minister indicated that military activity would rapidly expand across Gaza, necessitating the evacuation of people from 'fighting zones.'
