Israeli forces raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, displacing hundreds of patients and staff, and detaining the hospital director. The raid left north Gaza without its last major health facility.
Israel i forces raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya on Friday, ordering dozens of patients and hundreds of others to evacuate and detaining medical staff including the facility’s director, Hussam Abu Safiya. The ministry for health said it was not clear what was happening to Abu Safiya, adding it was concerned about his wellbeing after some of the staff freed by the army late on Friday reported that he was beaten up by soldiers.
The raid on the hospital, one of three medical facilities on the northern edge of Gaza, put the last major health facility in north Gaza out of service, the ministry said. Some patients were evacuated to the Indonesian Hospital, which is not in service, and medics were prevented from joining them there, the ministry said. Some others were transferred to another hospital in the southern Gaza Strip. Hamas dismissed this as “lies”, saying there were no fighters in the hospital. The Gaza ministry for health also said Israeli strikes across the enclave killed 18 Palestinians on Saturday, at least nine of them in a house in Maghazi camp in central Gaza Strip. The Israeli military said on Saturday it had begun operating overnight against targets in the Beit Hanoun area in northern Gaza. “Troops are enabling civilians still in the area to move away for their own safety,” it said. In the past few months Israeli forces have pushed people out and razed much of the area around the northern towns of Jabaliya, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya
