Israel denies Hamas claims that troops set fire to north Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital

[IsraelTimes] Military says ‘small fire in an empty building’ unrelated to troop activity, attacks ‘journalistic integrity’ of outlets running accusation; Arab states rush to condemn operations
The IDF on Saturday denied Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
allegations that Israeli troops had set fire to the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
. Nevertheless, the incident drew fierce condemnation from Arab states.
IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani pushed back on Hamas’s account. "While IDF troops were not in the hospital, a small fire broke out in an empty building inside the hospital that is under control," he said, adding that a preliminary investigation had found "no connection" between military activity and the fire.
"Running with unsubstantiated reports on the cause of this fire shows nothing but questionable journalistic integrity," said Shoshani.
Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry had accused Israeli troops of setting fires in several parts of Kamal Adwan, including the lab and surgery department, and said that 25 patients and 60 health workers remain in the hospital.
The ministry also said Israeli troops had entered the hospital, taken staff and patients outside and forced them to strip in winter weather. Unverified video circulating on social media purported to show patients and staff being marched outside in front of IDF tanks.
The Hamas ministry’s account could not be independently confirmed, and attempts to reach hospital staff have been unsuccessful.
The IDF said it had been conducting operations against Hamas infrastructure and operatives in the area, and that it had ordered people out of the hospital. However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
the IDF denied entering the Kamal Adwan complex as of Friday evening.
After Hamas accused Israel of storming and setting fire to Kamal Adwan, Arab states rushed to denounce Israeli operations.
Jordan’s foreign ministry said Amman "condemns in the strongest terms the burning of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip by the Israeli occupation forces, and forcing patients and medical staff to evacuate it."
The statement added that the reported Israeli military actions were "a flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law."
A statement from the United Arab Emirates foreign ministry echoed the Jordanian statement, stressing Abu Dhabi’s "categorical rejection of this heinous act that violates international humanitarian law, and the systematic and reprehensible destruction of the remaining health system in the Strip."
Saudi Arabia
 ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
also issued a statement decrying the Israeli operations and claiming they violate "international law, international humanitarian law, and the most basic humanitarian and ethical standards."
Hamas has fought from within hospitals throughout the war and even periodically hid some of the Israeli hostages kidnapped in its October 7, 2023, massacre inside. International law prohibits targeting hospitals during wartime, but hospitals can lose this protection if used for military purposes.
The IDF, which last operated against Hamas at Kamal Adwan in October, said earlier Friday that the hospital had "once again become a key stronghold for terrorist organizations and continues to be used as a hideout for terrorist operatives."
The IDF also said it had "facilitated the secure evacuation of civilians, patients, and medical personnel prior to the operation" to mitigate civilian harm.
Since October, Israel has intensified its land and air offensive in northern Gaza, stating its goal is to prevent Hamas from regrouping in the area.
The IDF said 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 said.
“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 added.
According to Munir Al-Bursh, the director of the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, the IDF ordered 350 people to leave Kamal Adwan for a nearby school sheltering displaced families. They included 75 patients, their companions, and 185 medical staff.
Youssef Abu El-Rish, the deputy Gaza health minister, said soldiers were transferring patients and medical staff to the Indonesian Hospital, which had already been put out of operation due to heavy damage resulting from Israeli fire a day earlier.
