Nearly a hundred reported killed in Gaza in the past 24 hours
At least 30 people, including several children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza overnight and Friday morning, reports the AP. Hospital staff at Al Aqsa Hospital told the news agency that at least twelve women and children were killed around central Gaza.
According to the Palestinian health authorities, which are controlled by Hamas, this means that over a hundred people have been killed in the area in the past 24 hours, reports Reuters.
The Israeli military says that it has struck around 40 Hamas targets during the past 24 hours, including several command centers. At the same time, it claims that it has done everything it can to protect civilians and repeats accusations that Hamas uses the civilian population to protect its fighters.
Israel accuses hospital director of being Hamas terrorist
The director of the Kamal Adwan hospital in Gaza, Hussam Abu Safiya, has not been seen since Israeli forces raided the hospital last week. As recently as yesterday, Israel claimed it was unaware of Abu Safiya's case, but in a statement it now confirms that the hospital director is being investigated by Israeli security forces, writes the BBC.
CNN describes Abu Safiya as a prominent doctor and one of the last to work in northern Gaza. In its statement, Israel writes that he is suspected of being a terrorist and of being part of the Hamas terror group. It does not elaborate on what it bases its suspicions on.
According to the World Health Organization, WHO, the Kamal Adwan hospital has been put out of operation after last week's raid.
