Israeli warplanes began a series of raids in the vicinity of the Al-Quds Hospital at dawn, according to the Palestinian news agency, Wafa, citing the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.
The medical facility is affiliated with the Red Crescent and is located in the Tal Al-Hawa neighbourhood south of Gaza City.
Israeli forces have threatened more than once to bomb the hospital, where about 14,000 civilians are currently seeking shelter, in addition to hundreds of sick and wounded people.
The Red Crescent Society had previously confirmed that it would not evacuate the hospital, calling on the international community to intervene immediately to prevent possible mass casualties.
