The Israel Defense Forces said it launched an operation Friday in the area of Kamal Adwan Hospital, where the hospital’s director said troops set fire to parts of the facility after ordering evacuations and arresting some of the medical staff — an account that the IDF disputed.

One of northern Gaza's last functioning hospitals has been forcibly evacuated by the Israeli military, medics say, after dozens of people were reportedly killed in Israeli air strikes targeting the area around the healthcare facility.

The IDF denied any of its troops had entered the facility or set fire to it and accused the militant group Hamas of using the facility for cover.View on euronews
