Israeli forces recently conducted a raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, resulting in the arrest of the hospital director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. The hospital, which was the last major functioning health facility in the area, has been left empty following the raid. Patients, caregivers, and health workers were transferred to the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahiya, according to the World Health Organization.
The Israeli military stated that Dr. Abu Safiya was suspected of being a Hamas terrorist operative and that the hospital was allegedly being used as a Hamas terror stronghold. The IDF detained hundreds of individuals during the operation, claiming they were targeting Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists.
