Israeli shelling ‘kills at least 12’ at Indonesian Hospital, while 28 premature babies are taken across the border into Egypt

Heavy fighting has erupted around a hospital in northern Gaza where thousands of patients and displaced people have been sheltering for weeks, as Israeli forces focus on medical facilities that they say Hamas militants are using for cover. A shell has struck the second floor of the Indonesian Hospital , killing at least 12 people, according to the health ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza and a medical worker inside the facility.

Israel’s northern advance came a day after the World Health Organisation evacuated 31 premature babies from the al-Shifa Hospital. At least 28 were transported to Egypt on Monday. They were among more than 250 critically ill or injured patients stranded at the hospital days after Israeli forces entered the compound
