The IDF says it has launched a new operation at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza's Jabalia, after identifying the presence of Hamas operatives in the area.

"The Kamal Adwan Hospital serves as a Hamas terrorist stronghold in northern Gaza, from which terrorists have been operating throughout the war." the military claims.

The IDF last operated against Hamas at the hospital in October. "It has once again become a key stronghold for terrorist organizations and continues to be used as a hideout for terrorist operatives," the IDF says.

The military says troops of the 401st Armored Brigade in the last few hours have been conducting "targeted operations in the area while mitigating harm to uninvolved civilians, patients, and medical personnel."

The IDF says it "facilitated the secure evacuation of civilians, patients, and medical personnel prior to the operation" to mitigate civilian harm. The civilians were taken to other hospitals in Gaza in an effort coordinated by the Defense Ministry's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) with local health officials and international organizations, the military says.

"The IDF and COGAT continue to make extensive efforts to enable patients to continue receiving care in other hospitals by facilitating the evacuation of patients from the Kamal Adwan Hospital, the ongoing transfer of supplies, food, and fuel to the area, and the restoration of operations of hospitals in the area, while maintaining ongoing communication with hospital officials," the army adds.
