Israeli army strips patients, hospital staff in Gaza

An image circulating online sparked outrage, showing several Palestinian patients and hospital staff in northern Gaza, stripped naked and blindfolded by the Israeli occupation army. 

In the horrific pictures, one man was visibly seen  injured and on crutches, while another was seen holding surgical drains attached to his body. 

These images have further exposed the horrific treatment being meted out to civilians during the Israeli military onslaught .

According to reports, Israeli soldiers raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital, located in northern Gaza, where they removed both patients and medical staff. 

The hospital has been a crucial medical facility, treating those injured during the ongoing genocide in Gaza. 

Eyewitnesses asserted that soldiers detained the patients, some of whom were critically ill or wounded, in what is described as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.

The incident has drawn widespread condemnation from human rights organisations, who argued that the abduction of patients and medical personnel is a breach of the Geneva Conventions, which protect hospitals and healthcare workers during conflict. 

Calls for an investigation into the actions of the Israeli forces have intensified as the images continue to circulate online, highlighting the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Earlier, Israeli Telegram channels circulated a picture of Palestinian men who were detained and stripped naked by the Israeli army during its ruthless military offensive in northern Gaza.

The viral image showed innocent civilians rounded up by occupation forces at a location where they were forced to remove their clothes, after reports emerged from Jabalia, revealing that Israeli forces had arrested several Palestinian men.

In October, Israeli forces stormed a school shelter near the Indonesian Hospital, forcing women and children to leave northern Gaza on foot while detaining hundreds of Palestinian men.

The occupation army also stormed the Kamal Adwan Hospital and arrested numerous Palestinian men, including teenage activist Abdul Rahman Battah, known as 'Aboud,' who was later released.

The overall Palestinian death toll since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza has reached at least 43,846 with more than 103,740 wounded. Thousands more remain trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
