Starting May 18, 2025 in the early morning hours, the Israeli military launched several attacks at and around the Indonesian hospital in North Gaza. The hospital has been repeatedly attacked and destroyed by Israel's previous three ground invasions of North Gaza.

Early morning, the IDF had intensified strikes around the hospital, causing panic among patient and medical staff, and leading companions of some sick and injured to flee the hospital transporting the latter in their hospital beds, as seen in footage captured on the ground. Press sources reported that at least two people were injured while trying to evacuate.

Israeli tanks and bulldozers continued advancing until they effectively surrounded the building. Around 9:30 pm, Israeli tanks started firing directly at the building, imposing a siege until late night. At the time, there were 55 people inside, including 4 doctors and 8 nurses. All contact with the medical teams had been lost.

Around an hour later, the troops had demolished the northern wall of the hospital. In addition, it was reported that an Israeli drone had killed one of the injured inside. *Funeral prayer for the killed patient on the next morning
