Pros:
– Increased military presence may provide a sense of security for healthcare facility staff and patients.
– Israel’s military presence can potentially deter any hostile activities targeting healthcare facilities.
– The presence of tanks can discourage any attempts to use healthcare facilities as cover for militant activities.
– Direct communication and coordination between the military and healthcare facilities may enhance emergency response capabilities.
Cons:
– The surrounding of a hospital by tanks can create a hostile environment for patients and medical staff.
– The close proximity of strikes to healthcare facilities raises concerns about the safety of patients and medical staff.
– The military presence may restrict the free movement of medical personnel and resources.
– There is a risk of accidental damage to healthcare facilities due to the intensity of military operations.
Israeli tanks have encircled a Gaza hospital, raising concerns about the safety of patients and medical staff. Strikes have also been reported near other healthcare facilities in the area, intensifying these fears. The director of the hospital shared this information with CNN.
