Israel destroys Al-Shifa hospital facilities as it withdraws

The Israeli army has withdrawn from the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and has blown up a number of its facilities, according to the Turkish news outlet Anadolu Agency. 

For weeks Israel alleged that one of Gaza's largest hospitals was a "command and control centre" for Hamas.

Israel failed to produce much evidence of that despite controlling the medical facility for more than a week.

This morning in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the Israeli army claimed it destroyed "terrorist tunnels" at the hospital, without providing evidence.
