Israeli army withdraws from al-Shifa hospital after 2-week operation

The Israeli army withdrew from al-Shifa hospital in the city of Gaza during the night, some two weeks after the start of its military operation there, according to Palestinian reports from Monday morning.

Local media reported that the operation had caused severe destruction to the buildings of the largest medical complex in the Gaza Strip.

Around 300 bodies were found in and around the hospital, according to the Palestinian civil defence force, which is controlled by the militant organization Hamas.
