The al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza was the site of a massacre during a two-week siege, resulting in hundreds of deaths and unidentified body parts.

The Israeli army claimed it arrested hundreds of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad members from the hospital, but survivors claim they were civilian government employees.

The employees had gathered at the hospital to receive their salaries, as it was one of the few safe places in the area.
-
The army was alerted to the gathering by informants, collaborators, and undercover spies.
-
The army separated people into groups with differently-colored bracelets, executing those suspected of being Hamas or PIJ members.

The hospital staff who refused to evacuate were also executed, and the army killed anyone who resisted.
