Communications have been completely severed with medical staff, patients, injured individuals, and journalists at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, located in northern Gaza, as the Israeli occupation forces ordered all those present to leave, Wafa reports.

According to reports, all lines of communication with those inside the hospital, including medical personnel, patients, companions, and press teams, were cut off after the Israeli army encircled the hospital.

This outage came after Israeli occupation forces demanded that medical staff, patients, and their companions gather in the hospital’s courtyard in preparation for an imminent raid.
