Israeli army 'threatens doctors and patients to bomb hospital buildings' 

The Israeli army has threatened medical staff and displaced people at al-Shifa Hospital that buildings they are staying in would be bombed if they didn't evacuate, the Gaza-based government media office has said. 

The statement was made based on testimonies from people still trapped inside the hospital, which has been under Israeli blockade and military assault since Monday.

The media office said once people evacuate buildings, they are arrested and tortured or killed.

Middle East Eye could not independently verify the report.
