Israeli forces raid hospital in Hebron, confiscating CCTV cameras

Israeli forces raided al-Ahli hospital in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, on Sunday, confiscating camera recording devices from the hospital's security department.

The Palestinian health ministry strongly condemned the raid.

"This violation is part of the ongoing and escalating daily attacks on the Palestinian healthcare system," the ministry said.

"Such actions are a clear violation of international law, which mandates the protection of civilian sites, including hospitals, as per the Fourth Geneva Convention and Additional Protocols I and II of the Geneva Conventions of 1977, as well as The Hague Convention of 1954."

It called on the international community and human rights organisations to provide urgent protection for all components of the Palestinian healthcare sector from Israeli violations.
