Israeli forces forcefully removed patients and staff from Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, sparking fires across the facility. The hospital's director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, was detained. Israel claims the hospital was a Hamas stronghold and facilitated the evacuation of civilians before the operation, while Gaza's health ministry condemned the raid and the ensuing casualties.
Israel has detained the director of one of Gaza’s last functioning hospitals, Gaza’s Health ministry said Saturday after Israel i forces “forcibly” removed patients and staff, and fires burned across the hospital. “The occupation forces arrested Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital,” the ministry said in a statement.
In a video geolocated by NBC News to the area around the hospital, two dozen men, stripped down to minimal clothing could be seen walking in a line with their hands raised on Friday. Flanked by Israeli tanks, the men carried some belongings. The surrounding buildings were in ruins. It is unclear if the men were members of the hospital staff. A video posted to Abu Safia’s social media account and verified by NBC News showed a quadcopter dropping a bomb a few yards from the hospital.
