Israeli Airstrikes with Two Missiles Destroy Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, Forcing Evacuation and Leaving It Out of Service

Israeli airstrikes have targeted the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, resulting in significant destruction and forcing the facility out of service. The airstrike, which involved two missiles, specifically hit the reception and emergency building of the hospital, leading to the complete destruction of the structure. The Israeli military had previously threatened to bomb the hospital, which was one of the few functioning medical facilities in the area. Following the attack, the Ministry of Health in Gaza condemned the assault and called for urgent international intervention to protect medical institutions and civilians. Reports indicate that the hospital's evacuation was necessitated by the threat of bombing, and the aftermath shows extensive damage to the hospital, with fires reported in several sections. Other areas in Gaza, including schools and residential buildings, have also been targeted in ongoing military operations, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
