Israel's military alleged that Hamas militants were using the facility and said over 240 people were detained.

With the Israeli military maintaining its lethal siege on northern Gaza, concerns are increasing that Israel is systematically implementing a strategy to displace Palestinians by declaring the region a combat zone.

Kamal Adwan Hospital has been hit multiple times over the past three months by Israeli troops waging an offensive against Hamas fighters in surrounding neighbourhoods, according to staff.

Israel's army detained the director of one of the last functioning hospitals in northern Gaza as overnight strikes in the enclave killed nine people including children, Palestinian medical officials said,

Israeli forces raided the Kamal Adwan hospital on Friday, one of three medical facilities on the northern edge of the Gaza Strip, burning large sections and forcing dozens of patients and hundreds of others to leave,

The Israel Defense Forces reportedly evacuated staff from a hospital in northern Gaza before raiding it. Shaimaa Khalil with BBC News, a CBS News partner, has more on what's known about the attack.
