Palestinian journalist says Israel using Gaza hospital as military garrison

Satellite imagery obtained by Palestinian journalist Younis Tirawi shows Israel's military using the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza as a base of operations.

The satellite imagery shows more than a dozen Israeli military vehicles parked on the premises of the hospital grounds.

Tirawi said that the hospital is being used as a "headquarters" by the Israeli military, "where soldiers operate and hide behind".

Israel forcibly evacuated the Indonesian Hospital on Monday, and then on Tuesday stormed the hospital and forced anyone inside to leave the premises.

On multiple occasions, Israel has claimed Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups use hospitals in Gaza as bases of operations. If this claim were true, then it would take away the protected status of those hospitals under international law.

However, the top prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, Andrew Cayley, who is leading the Palestine investigation has said that Israel's claims regarding Gaza's hospitals have been "grossly exaggerated".
