Israeli forces storm sole north Gaza hospital after bombing it and killing children

Israeli forces stormed the last operational hospital in the besieged north Gaza. The attack on the Kamal Adwan hospital, located in Beit Lahia northwest of Jabalia, was launched around 2am local time, shortly after a WHO delegation left the hospital.

It began with air strikes targeting the hospital and its courtyards, including the medical oxygen generator, said Dr. Munir al-Bursh, the director general of the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza.

The bombing led to the death of children inside the hospital and wounded medical staff. "Instead of receiving aid, we receive tanks... which are shelling the [hospital] building," said Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan hospital.
