Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: July 3, 2025

At around 4 PM on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, Israeli forces allegedly attacked a building adjacent to the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, North Gaza Strip. The strike reportedly injured patients and medical staff and damaged the hospital’s generators and fuel tanks.

The incident was reported by the Palestinian Press Agency (Safa News), though it did not provide further details on the extent of the damage or the identities of the injured. As injuries to both “patients” and “medical staff” were reported, this incident has been quantified as 4-4 to account for a minimum of two patients and two medical staff injured. All references to the incident found by Airwars appear to replicate the information reported by Safa News, making it a “single-source claim” until further details emerge.
