2022 Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin became a focal point on the morning of May 11, 2022, as it played a critical role in responding to the
death incident involving of
Al Jazeera Arabic journalist
Shireen Abu Akleh. Following her coverage of an
IDF raid in
Jenin camp, Shireen was transported to Ibn Sina Hospital, where medical professionals pronounced her dead. The hospital's role in this unfortunate event underscores its importance as a healthcare institution in the local community.
2023 The
Palestinian News Agency announced that the Israeli force had targeted citizens with live bullets in front of the emergency department, and a military mechanism had also broken into the hospital square. On November 17, 2023, Israeli soldiers surrounded at least four hospitals, including Ibn Sina Hospital, in the
occupied West Bank. During a raid at Ibn Sina Hospital, medical staff were instructed to raise their hands and evacuate. Some doctors resisted evacuation, and two paramedics were reportedly arrested during the incident, as stated by Khairat.
2024 On January 29,
Israeli special forces wearing civilian clothes assassinated three suspects of Palestinian youths after infiltrating Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin. The attack was widely condemned as a possible war crime. Aurel Sari and Tom Dannenbaum, both professors of International Law, called it a "violation of applicable laws". Dannenbaum said that it was a violation of "the prohibition on attacking combatants who have been incapacitated by wounds or sickness".
The Economist and
The Intercept separately wrote that the attack was "likely" or "probably" broke international law on the grounds of perfidy and the killing of protected people. == References ==
