Israel detains director of one of last functioning hospitals in northern Gaza, Palestinians say

Gaza’s Health Ministry said Saturday that Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, was arrested by Israeli forces. The announcement comes a day after Israeli troops stormed the hospital, forcing many staff and patients outside to strip in winter weather, according to the ministry.

Israel’s army didn’t respond to questions about Dr. Abu Safiya.
