Israeli forces on Monday pulled out of Gaza's largest hospital complex after an intensive two-week military operation, leaving behind charred buildings and bodies strewn at the sprawling complex. Israel said it had battled Palestinian militants hiding inside Gaza City's Al-Shifa Hospital, killed at least 200 enemy fighters and recovered stockpiles of weapons, explosives and cash. The health ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza said that "the scale of the destruction inside the complex and the buildings around it is very large" after heavy Israeli air strikes and tank fire.
