Israel forcibly evacuates Gaza hospital and detains medical staff

The last major functioning hospital in northern Gaza was forcibly evacuated by the Israeli military on Friday after dozens of people were reportedly killed in Israeli strikes targeting the area.

Medical staff, including the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital, have also been detained, Gaza health officials said on Saturday.

The hospital director, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, was among the first to report that about 50 people had been killed in Israeli air strikes targeting the vicinity of the hospital on Friday.

The IDF had said it was carrying out an operation in the area, alleging the hospital was a "Hamas terrorist stronghold".

On Friday, patients at the hospital were forcibly moved to the nearby Indonesian Hospital which doctors warn is damaged and unsuitable due to a lack of power generators and water.

Eid Sabbah, head of the nursing department at Kamal Adwan, told the BBC the military had ordered the evacuation around 07:00 on Friday, giving the hospital about 15 minutes to move patients and staff into the courtyard.

Israeli troops then entered the hospital and removed the remaining patients, he said.

The IDF said it had "facilitated the secure evacuation of civilians, patients and medical personnel" before beginning the operation.

Seriously ill patients were moved to the nearby Indonesian Hospital, itself evacuated earlier in the week, which medics have described as non-functional.

"You can't call it a hospital, it's more of a shelter. It's not equipped for patients," Gaza's deputy minister of health, Dr Abu-Al Rish, told the BBC on Friday.

Dr Sabbah, from Kamal Adwan Hospital, said: "It's dangerous because there are patients in the ICU department in a coma and in need of ventilation machines and moving them will put them in danger."

He had said critically ill patients needed to be moved in specialised vehicles.

The World Health Organization said the raid "has put this last major health facility in north Gaza out of service".

"Initial reports indicate that some key departments were severely burnt and destroyed during the raid," it posted on X on Friday.

Nadav Shoshani, international spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said in a post on Friday evening on X that a "small fire broke out in an empty building inside the hospital that is under control".

This was when IDF troops were not inside the hospital, he said, adding that "after preliminary examination, no connection was found between IDF activity to the fire".

The director of Kamal Adwan hospital had said on Friday that approximately 50 people had been killed, including five medical staff, in a series of Israeli air strikes targeting the vicinity of the hospital.

The statement from Dr Hussam Abu Safiya said a building opposite the hospital was targeted by Israeli warplanes, leading to the death of a paediatrician and a lab technician, as well as their families.

He said a third staff member who worked as a maintenance technician was targeted and killed as he rushed to the scene of the first strike.

Two of the hospital's paramedics were 500m (1,640ft) away from the hospital when they were targeted and killed by another strike, the statement continued, with their bodies remaining in the street with no-one able to reach them.

The Israeli military said on Friday morning that it was "unaware of strikes in the area of Kamal Adwan hospital" and was looking into the reports that staff had been killed.

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.

The UN has said the area is under a "near-total siege" as the Israeli military heavily restricts access of aid deliveries to an area where an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 people remain.

In recent days, the hospital's administrators have issued desperate pleas appealing to be protected, as they say the facility has become a regular target for Israeli shelling and explosives.

Oxfam said that attempts by aid agencies to deliver supplies to the area since October had been unsuccessful because of "deliberate delays and systematic obstructions" by the Israeli military.

IAF eliminates Nukhba commander who infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz on Oct. 7

The Israel Air Force (IAF) eliminated Nukhba Platoon Commander Abd al-Hadi Sabah of the Western Khan Yunis Brigade, the military said on Tuesday.

The strike was conducted based on intelligence from the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency).

Abd al-Hadi Sabah was one of the terrorist leaders who infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 and, throughout the war, led numerous terror attacks against IDF soldiers, the IDF noted.

Israeli strikes kill at least 30 in Gaza as ceasefire talks to resume in Qatar

Israeli strikes killed at least 30 people in Gaza, including children, overnight and into Friday, hospital staff said, as often-stalled ceasefire talks to end the Israel-Hamas war were set to resume in Qatar.

Sirens sounded across Israel for missiles fired from Yemen.

Staff at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said that more than a dozen women and children were killed in strikes in central Gaza, including in Nuseirat, Zawaida, Maghazi and Deir al-Balah.

Dozens of people were killed across the enclave the previous day, bringing the total killed in the past 24 hours to 56.

“We woke up to the missile strike. We found the whole house disintegrated,” Abdul Rahman Al-Nabrisi said in the Maghazi refugee camp.

The Israeli army said in a statement on Friday that during the past day, it had struck dozens of Hamas gathering points and command centres throughout Gaza.

The army asserted that measures were taken to mitigate civilian harm, such as using aerial surveillance.

And it issued a warning for people to leave an area of central Gaza immediately, saying it would attack following launches from there toward Israel.

The military said that a few projectiles entered Israel from central and northern Gaza, with no injuries reported.

Freelance journalist Omar al-Derawi was among those killed on Friday.

Associated Press reporters saw friends and colleagues mourning over his body, with a press vest laid on his shroud.

The Committee to Protect Journalists said last month that more than 130 Palestinian reporters have been killed since the start of the war.

Israel has not allowed foreign journalists to enter Gaza except on military embeds.

Israelis also woke up to attacks.

Israel said that missiles were fired into the country from Yemen, setting off air raid sirens in Jerusalem and central Israel and sending people scrambling to shelters.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

Israel’s army said that a missile was intercepted.

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen often claim responsibility.

Efforts at ceasefire negotiations were expected to resume on Friday.

Hamas releases video of Israeli hostage Liri Albag as ceasefire talks resume

Hamas has posted a video showing a 19-year-old Israeli captive, as indirect talks between the group and Israel on a ceasefire and hostage release deal resume in Qatar.

The footage shows Liri Albag calling for the Israeli government to reach a deal.

She was taken hostage along with six other female conscript soldiers at the Nahal Oz army base on the Gaza border during Hamas's October 2023 attack. Five of them remain in captivity.

The announcement of renewed talks came as Israel intensified attacks on Gaza, with the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry saying on Sunday that 88 people had been killed in bombardment over the past 24 hours.

One strike on a home in Gaza City on Saturday killed 11 people including seven children, according to the Gaza civil defence agency.

Images showed residents searching through rubble for survivors and the bodies of the dead wrapped in shrouds.

"A huge explosion woke us up. Everything was shaking," neighbour Ahmed Mussa told AFP.

"It was home to children, women. There wasn't anyone wanted or who posed a threat."

The Israeli military said on Sunday that it had struck more than 100 "terror targets" in the Gaza Strip over the past two days and "eliminated dozens of Hamas terrorists".

Responding to the video showing their daughter, Liri Albag's parents said it had torn their hearts to pieces and they appealed to the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "make decisions as if your own children were there".

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum Headquarters, which represents hostage families, said the sign of life from Liri was "harsh and undeniable proof of the urgency in bringing all the hostages home".

In a call to Lira Albag's parents, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said his country's delegation would remain at the negotiating table until all hostages were returned home.

Israeli officials have previously described the release of such videos by Hamas as psychological warfare.

'Stop shooting! My daughter is dead': Woman killed as West Bank power struggle rages

Just before New Year, 21-year-old Shatha al-Sabbagh was out buying chocolate for her family's children from a shop in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank.

The "fearless" journalism student – who wanted to shed light on the suffering of the Palestinians – was with her mother, two young nephews and another relative.

"She was laughing and saying we'll be up all night tonight," her mother recalls.

Then she was shot in the head.

For Shatha's mother Umm al-Motassem, the pain is still raw. She stops to take a breath.

"Shatha's eyes were wide open. It looked like she was staring at me while lying on her back with blood gushing from her head.

"I started screaming, 'Stop shooting! My daughter is dead. My daughter is dead.'"

But the shooting lasted for around 10 minutes. Shatha died in a pool of her own blood.

Shatha's family holds the Palestinian Authority's (PA) security forces fully responsible for her killing, saying their area is controlled by the PA.

"It couldn't have been anyone other than PA... because they have such a heavy presence in our neighbourhood - no-one else could come or go."

But the PA blames "outlaws" - the term they use for members of the Jenin Battalion, made up of fighters from armed groups including Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Hamas.
