Israeli attacks on hospital knock last intensive care unit in northern Gaza out of service
18 December 2024 23:27 GMT
The Israeli army has launched a new set of attacks on the Kamal Adwan hospital, sparking a fire that rendered the last functioning intensive care unit (ICU) in northern Gaza out of service.
Overnight on Tuesday, the hospital endured Israeli shelling, as well as the use of exploding robots near its grounds, Al Jazeera reporter Moath al-Kahlout reported.
Local media reported that Kahlout has since been detained by the Israeli army in Jabalia.
Kamal Adwan has been the focus of military efforts by Israel since its war on Gaza began in October 2023.
The hospital is an obstacle to Israel's plan to ethnically cleanse the northern half of the besieged strip, as it is where around 65,000 to 75,000 people have sought refuge.
