Five staff at one of northern Gaza’s last functioning hospitals were killed by an Israeli strike today, the facility’s director claims.
Hossam Abu Safiya, head of the Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia, says “an Israeli strike resulted in five martyrs among the hospital staff.”
There was no immediate comment from the IDF in response to the report.
Israel has been pressing a major offensive in northern Gaza since October 6, saying it aims to prevent Hamas terrorists in the area from regrouping.
