The Israeli army says it has ended a military operation at the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza.
The last major hospital in the northern part of Gaza was put out of use as a result of the attack, said the World Health Organization WHO on the night between Friday and Saturday.
The Israeli army says it has detained 240 people in connection with the operation, which the army claims are members of the extremist organization Hamas and the Islamic Jihad extremist organization. In addition, the army says it has arrested the hospital’s director.
Nurse Ismail al-Kahlut described Kamal Adwan’s hospital as extensively destroyed after the Israeli operation by the news channel for al-Jazeera.
– The Israeli soldiers kept us blindfolded. We heard people screaming, but we didn’t know who was being beaten, al-Kahlut described.
The health organization WHO has repeatedly announced that healthcare must be secured in Gaza.
