Israeli occupation forces have placed an explosives-laden box near the gate of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, a video shared by hospital Director Hussam Abu Safiya today appears to show.
The footage shows an Israeli vehicle deploying a wooden box bearing the word “danger” and the sign for a hazard (a triangle with an exclamation mark) outside one of the hospital’s gates.
Footage posted by Palestinians in northern #Gaza short ago, showing Israeli robots placing what appears to be an expolisive box outside Kamal Adwan Hospital.

“Israeli occupation vehicles, using robotic devices, are placing explosives boxes at the gates of the hospital,” Abu Safiya said in a Facebook post.
He added that Israeli forces had recently detonated residential buildings near the hospital using similar explosive devices.
Early today, Abu Safiya warned that the medical facility was facing daily Israeli bombardment, which he said was part of a “deliberate campaign of killing and forced displacement.”
