IDF arrests 240 people in hospital in Gaza

The Israeli military has arrested over 240 people at the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza, they write on their website.

During Friday, the military forcibly evacuated patients and staff from the hospital. During Thursday, at least 45 people were killed in Israeli attacks on the area near the hospital. Among them were five employees of the hospital.

Israel now claims that the people arrested are “Hamas terrorists” and has, among other things, arrested the hospital director.

According to information to the WHO, around 60 people from the healthcare staff and 25 patients in critical condition were still in the hospital yesterday. All other patients have been forced to evacuate to the destroyed and non-functioning Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza.

A man is wanted in custody after suspected murder

He is reasonably suspected, which is the lower level of suspicion, the newspaper writes.

– This is because we have not yet received a statement from the coroner and therefore do not know the cause of death. We currently have nothing to prove that there was violence against the woman, says Love Lundin.

During the course of the investigation, the man has also been suspected of rape on probable grounds.
