Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia has been under a tightening Israeli blockade imposed on parts of northern Gaza since October, when the military said it had launched an offensive to stop Hamas from regrouping there.

Israeli forces have arrested dozens of staff, including a hospital director after raiding the last major functioning health facility in northern Gaza, Gaza’s ministry of health says.

The director of the last operating hospital in the northern Gaza Strip has been arrested by Israel Defense Forces after patients there were forcibly removed, Palestinian health officials said Saturday.
