While Israeli forces have entered al Shifa Hospital before, their recent presence began on the night of 17 to 18 March. Sky News has analysed images and videos of Israeli presence at the site.
For over a week, Israeli forces have occupied al Shifa hospital, one of the few remaining large medical facilities in northern Gaza. On the ground, tanks, soldiers and heavy equipment take the place of ambulances and patients. Visible above is evidence of possibly irreparable damage. On 26 March, a fire occurred on the grounds of al Shifa hospital.
21pm, it shows explosions and the presence of Israeli armoured vehicles. The sound of gunfire, aircraft and explosions can be heard throughout. The initial raid targeting al Shifa hospital was also documented by the IDF, which posted a video consisting of aerial footage recorded in numerous locations in the area. While the IDF captioned two of the clips 'Fire toward IDF troops from the Shifa Hospital,' Sky News found they were filmed nearby, outside of the hospital's grounds.
