Israeli forces in Gaza detain two ambulance drivers, health ministry says

Israeli forces detained two ambulance drivers in the Gaza Strip on Friday, the Palestinian health ministry has said.

Ashraf al-Qudra, the ministry's spokesperson, said the drivers were heading to northern Gaza from the south.

They were detained despite coordination with the International Committee of the Red Cross about their movement, al-Qudra added.

Israeli ground troops have been in control of the two main roads connecting Gaza's north to south for over a week.
