Palestinian media reports that the IDF recently arrested Marwan al-Hams, the director of Yusuf al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah. According to the reports, al-Hams also serves as the head of the Gaza Strip’s field hospitals, a position within the Hamas-run health ministry.

The IDF has yet to issue a response.
