Reports Israeli troops leaving Al-Shifa hospital
A journalist who is trapped inside Al-Shifa hospital says troops have now left the building and have moved outside its walls.
The Israel Defense Forces have not officially commented on the claim or said when the operation is due to end.
The BBC has not been able to independently confirm whether the troops have left Al-Shifa.
Separately, BBC Arabic’s Ethar Shalaby spoke to Dr Mohamed Abu Salamiya, director-general of Al-Shifa hospital, who said soldiers had left the hospital’s speciality surgery building.
However, he couldn’t confirm whether they had also vacated other buildings in the complex.
He said: “I can still see lots of tanks at the gates of the hospital”.
Dr Salamiya also accused the Israeli troops of damaging specialist medical equipment during the raid.__BBC.com
