During the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, the Kamal Adwan Hospital, a hospital in Beit Lahia, Gaza Strip, Palestine, was besieged multiple times by the Israel Defense Forces until Israel shut it down on December 27, 2024.
On December 27, 2024, the Israeli army stormed the hospital, setting it on fire, and forcibly removed patients and staff from the hospital. At the time Kamal Adwan was the last remaining major medical facility in the north Gaza. The IDF stated the hospital was a command center by Hamas, and its doctors and nurses were "terrorists". Hospital staff have denied these allegations, and sources have noted that the IDF has not provided evidence for their claims.
