Indonesian Hospital in Gaza Allegedly Occupied by Israel, Indonesian Government Condemns
The Indonesian Hospital facility in Gaza was reportedly occupied by Israeli forces on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. The health facility, already severely damaged from the attack, is said to have had specific flags and banners hung by Israeli troops, bearing phrases linked to the codename of a previous military operation. Due to repeated attacks, the hospital had long been non-operational and unable to serve patients.
The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, officially expressed condemnation and protest over the installation of these banners. The government stressed that the action was highly provocative and unjustifiable, as it turned civilian and humanitarian facilities into tools for military propaganda.
Indonesia asserts that the Indonesian Hospital is a facility built to provide health services to the people of Gaza and must be respected in accordance with international humanitarian law. The Indonesian government urges Israel to cease all violations of civilian infrastructure protection and ensure accountability for attacks on medical facilities in Gaza.
