The Al-Quds Hospital is a hospital located in the Tel al-Hawa area of Gaza City, in the Palestinian territories. It is the second largest hospital in Gaza.

The hospital was damaged by Israeli forces in 2009, during the Gaza war of 2008-2009.

The hospital was damaged again as part of the 2023 Gaza war. On 11 November, a Hamas battalion operating from the hospital ambushed IDF troops; 21 militants were killed whereas the Israelis suffered no casualties. The clash was filmed by a drone scrambled from nearby.[1] In the early morning of 12 November, an Israeli attack hit near the hospital and damaged it.[2] Later that day, the Palestine Red Crescent Society announced that the hospital had ran out of fuel and ceased treating patient.[3] On 13 November, Palestine Red Crescent Society condemned allegations that Hamas was attacking from the hospital saying the video from the drone only showed them in the street outside the hospital.[4]
